Problem
Individual and family investors often cannot access high-quality private‑market climate and energy infrastructure opportunities because such funds require large capital commitments, extensive due diligence, and direct relationships with fund managers.
Solution
Carbon Equity bridges this gap by offering a platform that aggregates and curates a selection of vetted private‑equity, venture‑capital, and infrastructure funds focused on the new energy economy. Investors can gain diversified exposure to hundreds of climate‑tech companies through a single commitment, with allocations across sectors such as renewable power, grid storage, industrial electrification, critical minerals, and AI‑driven materials. The firm conducts extensive screening of hundreds of underlying funds and co‑investments, selecting only those that meet strict risk‑adjusted return criteria. Investment structures are tiered by risk profile, from low‑risk infrastructure funds targeting 10‑12% net IRR to high‑risk co‑investment funds targeting 25% net IRR. Minimum ticket sizes start at €10 k, allowing smaller investors to participate in institutional‑grade private markets. Ongoing portfolio management, capital‑call coordination, and reporting are handled by Carbon Equity, providing a hands‑off experience while keeping investors informed of performance and impact.
