IBET Climate is now Rethink Climate!
We consider the economics and technical practicality of scaling and commercializing climate solutions from the start.
Innovation without adoption.
Often, ideas that seem world-changing in a lab don’t translate effectively in real life.

We systematically eliminate confirmation bias by first understanding customer pain points and needs, and only then move to develop a tech solution.
Confirmation bias is misleading.
It’s common for founders to start with product development first and aim to “market” second.

Drawing on decades of expertise founding and leading businesses, we assemble experienced teams with key skills and conviction from launch.
Execution failures hinder impact.
Internal mismanagement can hold teams back from their highest potential
