📣❤️🔥Do good by investing better!!❤️🔥 📣 I recently invested via Carbon Equity and this might be interesting for you as well! Here are my three main reasons why: Carbon Equity allows me to invest in hundreds of breakthrough climate tech companies via a single investment. Think of companies such as Form Energy (grid-scale battery storage), Sublime Systems (zero carbon cement) or MicroHarvest (proteins made from bacteria). They curate, select and put funds with strong impact and financial return 📈 track records to work for you. Funds like Breakthrough Energy , Energy Impact Partners and Extantia. Typically, these funds require multi-million commitments — with Carbon Equity, it starts from €25,000. Its investor platform also makes it easy to invest, get onboarded and stay updated on your portfolio companies’ performance. Check it out and do good by investing better! 😎 👊
