The team pioneering climate intelligence
Diverse talent on a unified mission
From climate scientists to data engineers, marketers to product designers — we share a collaborative mindset and a passion for seemingly impossible challenges.
To achieve our mission, we've assembled experts in earth science, physics, statistics, machine learning, and tech platforms across 11 countries, from Europe to Silicon Valley. Over 60% of the team hold PhDs or Masters degrees, we have more than 200 peer-reviewed papers between us, and one of us was part of a Nobel Prize winning team.
