IBET Climate is now Rethink Climate!
Climate change is a threat that cannot be ignored
We are a team of deep climate experts & seasoned entrepreneurs committed to creating market-ready, scalable tech solutions and ensuring their successful adoption into thriving companies. Our approach addresses three key obstacles to successful climate solutions, allowing us to act with urgency and clarity.
1
Innovation without adoption.
Often, ideas that seem world-changing in a lab don’t translate effectively in real life.
We consider the economics and technical practicality of scaling and commercializing climate solutions from the start.
2
Confirmation bias is misleading.
It’s common for founders to start with product development first and aim to “market” second.
We systematically eliminate confirmation bias by first understanding customer pain points and needs, and only then move to develop a tech solution.
3
Execution failures hinder impact.
Internal mismanagement can hold teams back from their highest potential.
Drawing on decades of expertise founding and leading businesses, we assemble experienced teams with key skills and conviction from launch.
We’re a beacon for governments, businesses, and venture capitalists seeking to rapidly turn powerful climate ideas into reality. With Rethink Climate:
VCS
invest in de-risked companies that positively impact the planet.
BUSINESSES
