InPlanet at Corporate Venture in Brasil 2023
In late October, our Founders Niklas Kluger and Felix Harteneck represented us at Corporate Venture Brasil, with CEO Felix speaking on Wednesday 25th. COO Niklas Kluger reflected on this event, with many thanks to event hosts Global Corporate Venturing, ApexBrasil, and the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (Brazilian Government).
Out of a large number of applications of startups, InPlanet was chosen as special participant during the last ApexBrasil Event in S?o Paulo (23.10-25.10.2023). We had the honor to pitch on the main stage of the event, where my lovely co-founder Felix Harteneck delivered an on point #pitch, which eventually led to many interesting conversations.
Overall, we have been really impressed by the great interest of #corporate #investors in our carbon dioxide removal solution. It also became clear that bigger cooperations are really seeking to take action, be it though investments or a potential purchase of #carbon #removal #credits.

Everyone we spoke to mentioned their great need for investment into sustainable companies with the goal to become more climate friendly and eventually decarbonize their own or strategically relevant industries.
We are especially keen about the follow ups with, inter alia, Bruno Arcadier from Vale Ventures, Emerson Ricardo Re from HANDBAG MINING INVESTMENTS, Leandro L. Rossi from Mining Hub - O Hub da Minera??o, Takahiro (Taka) Yamagishi from Mitsubishi Minerals, Isabela "Isay" Acenas from Toyota Ventures (Climate Fund) as well as Tomás Rauch from TechEnergy Ventures.
A big shout out also goes to Roberto Machado who gave us a great pitch training on the first day of the event, contributing much to the outstanding pitch of InPlanet on the big stage. In addition, the hidden hero of the event for us was Sergio Gustavo Rossi, who enabled many connections and got us many relevant intros which we are exited about to take to the next level and potentially all the way to our Series A in the coming year.
PS: Also notice how the nice InPlanet #Rebrand was shining on the Apex stage!
