Brands and fashion groups are already using Carbonfact (e.g. New Balance, Carhartt, Allbirds, APC, ArmedAngels, etc.) and they raised $2 million from Y Combinator, Alven, and angel investors in 2021, and $15M Series A.
We have been helping Carbonfact from Day 1, and following their path from 3 to 20 employees. They have been focusing on setting up a strong company culture + hiring powerful individuals.
Since the fashion industry is responsible for at least 1 GtCO2 per year, Carbonfact’s impact on the fashion industry can lead to reducing CO2 emissions by several hundreds of millions of tons per year
