Investing is not buying carbon

The single most misunderstood thing about this platform, stated plainly.

Equity does not generate carbon credits. A carbon asset only exists once a reduction or removal is additional, measured, third-party verified, registered and transferred or retired on a registry.

Read the method →

Double-counting firewall

Enforced at the ledger level, not in a policy PDF.

Every verified tonne carries exactly one use tag: Scope 3 inset Offset retirement Held Available. Switching a tag requires a re-validation workflow.

RegenerativeRemovalLayer 02 · Community

Kilimanjaro Regenerative Coffee Cooperative

Agroforestry and soil-carbon transition across 2,400 smallholder farms in northern Tanzania. Round closes in 14 days.

The project

A 2,400-farm cooperative transitioning from conventional shade-grown coffee to a full agroforestry system with leguminous shade trees, composted organic fertilizer and contour soil retention. The transition is capital-intensive in years 1–3 and profitable from year 4.

Capital raised is used for nursery stock, composting infrastructure, farmer training and the first two years of MRV data collection.

Carbon rights structure

Investors in this round receive a contractual priority purchase right over a defined share of verified removals, attached as a schedule to the investment agreement. It is not a separately transferable security.

Right typePriority purchase right + 20% allocation share
Vintage coverage2025 – 2030
Price formulaFixed floor + indexation, defined in schedule
TransferabilityNot transferable separately from the equity
Double-counting declaration. Verified removals from this project are not claimed as Scope 3 insets by any buyer. Tonnes allocated to carbon-rights holders are excluded from any other party's reduction claim. Once a tonne is tagged, the tag cannot be reversed without a re-validation workflow.

How the capital stack works

Four layers, one project ID, one carbon identity. A project does not "graduate" out of its carbon obligations — it carries them forward.

Layer 01 — Incubate

Onboarding, milestone tracking and a simplified carbon baseline. No money moves and no carbon credits exist at this stage.

Typical project stagePre-revenue to first sales
Typical raise size$25,000 – $250,000
Platform feeNo fee at incubation stage
Required outputsCarbon baseline profile, emissions source inventory, monitoring plan draft
Timeline4 – 12 weeks

Layer 02 — Community raise

Reg CF-style issuance and community SPVs. Fans, customers and local backers subscribe; funds are held in escrow and released only on close.

Typical raise size$250,000 – $5,000,000
Reg CF success fee7.9% of amount raised
SPV setup fee$10,000
SPV management fee5% + 10% carry on Wefunder-sourced SPVs
Rolling limit$5M per 12 months (Reg CF), revalidated on every issuance
Required outputsOffering circular, risk disclosure, escrow arrangement, carbon rights schedule

Layer 03 — Institutional capital

Funds, data rooms, capital calls, NAV marks and carry waterfalls. Terms are negotiated privately and disclosed to LPs only.

Typical raise size$2M – $30M per fund or SPV
Advisory / placementContact for terms
Fund economicsManagement fee + carry per fund agreement; carry basis shown as two explicit scenarios
Data room tiersPublic → NDA-signed → Full diligence (enforced at the query layer)
Required outputsTerm sheet, SPV agreement, carbon rights annex, audit trail

Layer 04 — Carbon rights

MRV, third-party verification, registry issuance, entitlement allocation, retirement and disclosure packs. This layer runs across the entire stack and never resets.

Standards supportedVerra VCS, Gold Standard GS4GG, Puro.earth
WorkflowData capture → standardisation → QA → carbon calculation → VVB verification → registry issuance

Retirement / custody feePer retirement instruction executed on a registry
Invariantissued = allocated + retired + platform reserve, at every point in time
Entity separation. Securities issuance, fund management and carbon asset services are operated by separate legal entities. The platform is shared infrastructure; contracts and money flows are not commingled.

Carbon method & MRV

What this platform will and will not claim. Read this before you invest or invest through us.

Investing is not buying carbon. A carbon asset only exists once a reduction or removal is additional, measured, third-party verified, registered, and transferred or retired on a registry. Equity produces none of this automatically.

The six-step dMRV workflow

01

Data capture

Manual entry for smallholder contexts, API and IoT ingestion for mills, roasteries and warehouses.

02

Standardisation

Activity data mapped to methodology-specific parameters with source and applicability flags.

03

Quality control

Missing-field detection, outlier flags and an append-only audit trail on every edit.

04

Carbon calculation

Baseline and project emissions computed against the selected methodology, with an explicit uncertainty band.

05

Independent verification

A VVB reviews the monitoring report through a dedicated portal and issues approve / conditional / reject.

06

Registry issuance

Tonnes are issued, transferred or retired on the registry. The platform records entitlements; it is not itself a registry.

Use tags — the double-counting firewall

Every verified tonne carries exactly one tag at any moment. Changing a tag is a workflow, not a dropdown.

TagMeaningCan it be sold or reassigned?
Scope 3 insetClaimed by an enterprise as a supply-chain reduction within its own boundaryNo — locked to that enterprise
Offset retirementRetired on a registry against residual emissionsNo — retirement is irreversible
HeldAllocated to a rights holder, not yet retired or claimedOnly via the entitlement contract
AvailableUnallocated platform reserve or project balanceYes, subject to contract terms

Retirement rules

Disclosure is support, not assurance. The platform prepares disclosure datasets. It does not certify that an enterprise's disclosures comply with any framework. Final responsibility sits with the enterprise and its auditors and legal advisers.

Project updates. Your investment and the project's carbon events appear on one shared timeline. You will be notified when a new verification batch is issued and when entitlements are recalculated.

Tag lock. A batch tagged Scope 3 inset cannot be switched to Offset retirement, and vice versa. Changing a use tag requires a use-change request, a double-counting re-validation and a legal sign-off. The lock is enforced server-side, not hidden in the interface.
