Company Description
We are a B2C/B2B2C social enterprise that supports people in solving the climate problem with financial confidence.
Problem Introduction
The problem a social enterprise startup is trying to solve is the most important since it determines the market size, the minimal viable product, and the talent a startup needs. Hence, here is the introduction to the problem we are solving now.
Most of us agree that climate change is a human-made crisis.
It is a growing, urgent global problem that will increase the number of irreversible disasters if we don’t take action now.
Accordingly, many ecosystem stakeholders propose different solutions to solve the problem. Despite the hard work, our current progress is not fast enough to limit the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius.
After several reflections, our current climate ecosystem problem has at least 3 layers:
- Current Climate Responsibility Problem
- Decarbonization without Nature Biodiversity
- Climate Action Movement without Finance
If this is something that you are interested in, we are happy to talk with you.
