Startup one-liner:
Block2030 is a blockchain-based platform that enables companies to achieve their climate goals by providing a transparent and efficient way to participate in the carbon market.
Problem the startup solves:
Block2030 aims to solve the problem of carbon emissions by providing a platform for buying and selling carbon credits. The platform uses blockchain technology to create a transparent and secure marketplace for carbon credits, which helps to incentivize companies and individuals to reduce their carbon footprint. By providing a solution for the complex and often opaque carbon credit market, Block2030 aims to make it easier and more efficient for companies to offset their carbon emissions and work towards a more sustainable future.
Progress and Current Status:
The infrastructure has been built. it is now possible to connect with meta mask on our website and purchase credits in token form.
Legal wise, the company is registered, and we have sufficient legal advice.
Our biggest concern now is to grow. We need to get more visibility and want to see our product being tested to improve user experience. We want to grow though content creation and strategic partnerships that lead us to leads
What is an Inspiring Story about the Startup?:
We went to school together. Sebastian has always had an entrepreneurial motivation and has started working on multiple projects. We both discovered crypto around the same time and fell in love with it. Since then, we have always talked about getting tough one day and doing something together. We both started thinking about Climate and Blockchain independently from each other until we realised, ” hey we are working on the same”. So from there on, we joined forces.
What is a Company the Startup Looks Up to, and Why?:
A lot. However, one that we both think is very cool is flowcarbon. They were a pioneer in the refi (regenerative finance) space and have built an incredible product with the tokenisation of carbon credits. Since their invention, they have made the whole ecosystem stronger and brought more attention to blockchain and its potential for battling climate change.
The Company in Four Years Will Be…
The go-to place not only for companies and big cooperation but also for consumers to make an impact against climate change. We see a bigger picture than just the tokenisation of carbon credits. We want to bring value to nature itself. Meaning we want to tokenise nature and the positive effects of maintaining it. Further, we are blockchain nerds and love nfts and game mechanisms. We want to include more of that and hopefully help general adaption of blockchain technology.
