| Pina Earth | Pina Earth is a climate tech startup unlocking carbon markets for European forest owners. Local forests can become certified carbon projects through an independent certification with Pina. As a result, climate-resilient forests become a reality, and sustainable forestry is rewarded with recurring income. The carbon stored in forests can beaccurately measured and monitored by combining cutting-edge remote sensing technologies and artificial intelligence.Pina Earth's platform assists forest owners in registering their land for carbon credits. It then sells what amounts to a high-tech forest management service, assisting landowners in making forest adaptations such as planting climate-resilient tree species, which should generate extra carbon credits over time compared to if they did not undertake the sustainability-focused measures that will allow the forest to take up more carbon. | $2.5M | Seed | Jul 05, 2022 |  |
| Ordinary Seafood | We are a consumer facing food-tech company using the power of plant protein and biotechnology to deliver the next generation of sustainable seafood.

| Solid World | The carbon markets are predicted to be 50x in size up to $50B by 2030. The majority of this market is going to be created through forward investments. One of the big things holding back the forward market today is carbon projects underperforming and the illiquid nature of the carbon investment market. Investing in a project gives you a forwardcontract for future credits. These forward contracts often underdeliver, and you can't do anything with this illiquid future promise for credits in 5+ years.
Solid World DAO accelerates carbon project development through fair, transparent and liquid markets. We de-risk carbon investments and make them liquid. The added safety of investing in carbon space will result in accelerated capital deployment and expansion cycles for carbon projects. They´ve partnered with the top companies in this space like SCB, Vlinder, Emsurge, Arbol, SustGlobal, Toucan, Flowcarbon, OFP.

Since they started in October 2021, they designed special-purpose blockchain infrastructure, have $4M forwards committed for the liquidity pools, and have built a one-of-a-kind world-class team with deep industry knowledge(ACT Commodities, BeZero, eAgronom) and blockchain knowledge(Toucan, Mercado Bitcoin, KlimaDAO) with serial-entrepreneur founders(Glia, eAgronom) who have been featured in Time, sourced tens of millions of forward credits, and are in late-stage talks with multiple trading houses for them to become LP-s on their automated market maker. Their protocol will serve as a financial primitive to build derivatives, collateralised loans, on-chain insurance and other innovations. They have a first-mover advantage in building forward carbon credit infrastructure. | $2.7M | Seed | Feb 01, 2022 |  |
