<aside> 🐣 Dare to define the digital product design function in a freshly funded impact startup?
Our fledging organization has achieved some major milestones without anyone truly in charge of design, but we are eager to change that while we can.
Let’s have a chat and explore the opportunity together! Shoot us a line (and your portfolio) at [email protected].

Carbon Equity - Do good by investing better
We believe that everybody should have the ability to use their capital to fight climate change. The best way to do this is by investing in companies that are solving humanity’s greatest challenges.
This is why we made it our mission to open up the world of private market investing to allow a new generation of investors to invest in true climate impact.
To do this, we need to remove the traditionally high barriers to private equity investing. Only then can we unlock the power of the masses and allocate even more capital to the innovative companies that are key to solving the climate crisis.
Carbon Equity is building the leading climate investment platform. A platform that makes private equity and venture capital accessible by removing traditional jargon, mechanics, and complexities. We enable people to pick their specialist team of investors to invest for them, so they can sit back, relax and enjoy how their capital is making a real climate impact.
We are a solidly funded company (€3M), allowing us to grow rapidly to accomplish our mission. We are currently a team of 10, soon-to-be 15, nicely diversified across finance, impact, business, marketing and technology.
Private equity investing has a tradition of being dull, numbers-driven and ridden with confusing terminology. Our challenge is it to design a customer experience that is quite the opposite: inspiring, story-driven and accessible.
We are building an app that takes an investor on their own personal climate impact investing journey, engages them by sharing the inspiring and innovative stories that are funded by their investment and encourages them to invite others to join in for the climate revolution.
Our product team (currently consisting of backend developer, frontend developer, copywriter and marketeer) is very aware of the value of design, and how it is not (only) about making things look good but rather about making things friendly, easy and comprehensible for the target customer. While this is currently a shared responsibility within the team, we need you to come in and own it.
