July updates from Carbon13

Hello you,?

It's a hard fought competition amongst some of the world's most talented people. No it's not the Olympics, it's the Carbon13 Community Input Days.

Last week saw our Cohort 6 teams pitch to our community of over 200 people, and make their final case to our Investment Committee to win our investment.

A huge thank you to all attendees, your questions and feedback are invaluable, and a huge congratulations to our founders.

You've all worked so hard since January to get these ventures off the line, you:

• Jumped in at the deep end harder than Tom Daley ??
• Multitasked like Katarina Johnson-Thompson ??
• Battled setbacks with the resilience of Andy Murray ??
• Focused on impact with the zeal of a cardboard bed ???

Stay tuned for our investment announcement, but for now:
