The climate crisis is the single biggest threat to humanity. Scaling carbon removal is crucial in avoiding the catastrophic impacts of climate change, and we’re working tirelessly to pull as much carbon dioxide out of the sky as we can. Our goal is to remove 500 million tonnes from the atmosphere – and then some!
The founders, Michelle and Aaron, worked together for many years at Songkick, where Michelle was co-founder and Aaron was CTO. We built Songkick to 20 million monthly unique users and $100m in GTV, raising from YC, Index, and Sequoia before exiting to Warner Music Group. We started Supercritical because we have both have young children and want to leave them a better future. We'll hopefully be alive to see the world achieve net zero by 2050, our children definitely will be.
Our team is a powerhouse of some of the very best in climate, product, tech, and commercial: from environmental scientists with PhDs from Cambridge, early employees at some of the best scaleups, and teams that have built products that have scaled to millions of users. We value humility and self-awareness, we're kind to each other, and we actively work on diversity – we’re incredibly proud that half our investors are women.
We’re backed by some of the best investors in the world, including LocalGlobe, and angels including Taavet Hinrikus / Transferwise, Alice Bentinck / Entrepreneur First, Peter Reinhardt / Segment and Charm Industrial, Yancey Strickler / Kickstarter, Amit Gudka / Bulb, and Gustaf Alströmer / YC partner on climate.
