The story
Climate change has a capital problem: the return is hard to justify and carbon projects are confusing. My co-founders and I built de-risking and pricing products to make sense of carbon projects, then explained the risks in plain terms through structured products any capital provider could finance.
I was the sole developer: a Nuxt application on Supabase, internal tooling for managing projects, and the risk and financial models we used as tear sheets for financing. Carbon markets contracted sharply in 2022–2023 and our views on the future diverged, so I wound down my role and moved on, on good terms with the team.
