The Thesis
Every company will need to track, report, and reduce emissions. EU CSRD, SEC climate rules, California SB 253, customer pressure—the regulatory tsunami is here. But the tools suck: spreadsheets, consultants, and prayers.
CarbonOS is the operating system for corporate climate compliance.
The Problem
Carbon accounting today is broken:
📊 Spreadsheet Hell
Data scattered across dozens of Excel files. Manual calculations. Formula errors. “Which emissions_final_v3_FINAL.xlsx is the right one?”
💸 $300k Consultants
Big 4 firms charge a fortune for carbon audits. Small changes? Another engagement. Questions? Bill by the hour.
🔗 Supply Chain Blindness
90% of emissions are Scope 3 (supply chain). Good luck getting data from 500+ suppliers manually.
⏰ Compliance Whiplash
CSRD, SEC, CDP, GRI, TCFD… Different frameworks, different formats, different deadlines. Same data, repackaged endlessly.
The Insight
“What if carbon accounting was as easy as payments?”
Stripe didn’t make payments possible—they made them easy. We’re doing the same for carbon. One API, one dashboard, complete compliance.
