Monthly subscription to offset carbon footprint
We built a subscription service that lets people offset their carbon footprint by funding credible projects in nature, industry, and policy. We also provide actionable guidance on how users can reduce their emissions. It's a simple way for anyone to move from confusion about climate issues to real climate action.
We live mostly in San Francisco, with some remote team members. Post-YC, we plan to remain based in San Francisco while supporting remote work.
San Francisco is where we are now and where we have access to networks and talent relevant to climate and consumer tech. We want to stay here and grow our team while also allowing remote flexibility.
