Startup Series: Patch
This Startup Series episode was previously for MCJ members only. In an effort to make important content more widely available, the audio is now available for everyone.
Patch is a platform for negative emissions. They have built an API to automate your sustainability goals. Patch integrates with businesses, calculates their emissions, and seamlessly compensates their environmental footprint by purchasing negative emissions from verified carbon removal projects. Patch works with e-commerce marketplaces, banking & payment companies, and B2B climate tech customers. Their goal is to make sustainability initiatives automatic and provide a diverse selection of carbon sequestration projects to their clients. Patch's carbon removal projects include biochar, forestry, mineralization and direct air carbon capture.
Co-Founder & CEO, Brennan Spellacy, walks me through the gap he saw in the carbon market and why he started Patch. We talk about how Patch works and where he sees the future of the company, of carbon markets, and the best ways to address climate change.
