Pilot Year - UK Training (2023)

Before sending the successful early-career polar scientist aplicants to the Arctic and Antarctic for research expeditions, it's crucial to train them in both the theoretical and practical aspects of surviving and functioning in the polar regions. Many scientists may understand the research they need to gather, but not fully appreciate the unique skills required in the harsh environments found at the poles to bring back the data successfully.

seed investments

The Clean Planet Foundation provides seed investments, up to £150k/$200k, to early founders / engineers who have concepts and solutions to battle the plastic and climate crises. These investments are in exchange for shares/equity. 

What we look for:

  • An innovative technology or process that requires early seed capital to develop the business further.

  • A founding team committed to building a business over the years ahead. The founding team should have a good background or education in the area where the business is focussed. 

  • A definitive link between the proposed business and enabling the sustainable use of plastics, and/or reduction of carbon emissions.

  • A clear roadmap as to how the seed capital will progress the business to the next stage and what you believe will be needed after that. 

If you believe you have an early business that meets the above criteria, then send a non-confidential overview to: foundationinvestments [at] cleanplanet.com
