Company
Minimum
Helping corporates achieve Net Zero through tech
We have built a platform that lets businesses and investment funds calculate, report on, and reduce their carbon emissions. The product helps companies understand their carbon footprint in detail and guides them on how to lower it, which is critical for meeting regulatory and voluntary climate goals.
We live in London and the company will remain based in London after YC.
We're based in London because it's where we are, and the city is an important global financial hub with many potential clients who need to address climate impact in their operations and investment decisions.
