Exciting news: we’ve raised a $100M Series C, led by Greenoaks, and with participation from Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, and other existing investors. We’re full speed ahead on our mission to accelerate the climate economy. We now work with companies that manage an estimated 479 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent––more than the annual emissions of France. We’re proud to support them on their work to reinvent their businesses for a zero-carbon world. Read more about what we have in store for our next chapter >> https://lnkd.in/eDZXzCwS

Watershed is on a mission to work with our customers to reduce or remove 500 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent—approximately 1% of annual global emissions—by 2030. Special cheers to the Watershed customers who made this USA TODAY list of US companies that have been most successful in reducing emissions to date, including KKR, Cboe Global Markets, Dell Technologies, Etsy, General Mills, Okta, Sunrun, The Home Depot, Visa, YETI and more! There is so much work to be done, but it's important to celebrate along the way 🎉

Seven of our customers—Aledade, Inc., Canva, Samsara, SKIMS, Skyscanner, Wise, and Zendesk—are supporting Frontier's first large European carbon removal purchase. The deal will fund the retrofit of Stockholm Exergi's KVV8 biomass facility to remove 800,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year starting in 2028.

Bodnar, and Anita Thomson for the energising two days in Amsterdam, and to Arthur Clack and Anatol Gudenus for partnering with me to represent Watershed! #IFscope3EU24
