Samia Qader, Senior Principal at Climate VC:
Preoptima is the world’s first early-stage decarbonisation platform for real-time carbon mitigation and management in buildings. The built environment produces a staggering 37% of global emissions today, and the EU is requiring all member states to regulate embodied carbon within the next three years!
By offering a unique, iterative approach to designing low-carbon buildings, Preoptima provides carbon reductions of up to 40% and has the potential to avoid hundreds of megatons of carbon emissions at a global scale. The company is led by thought leaders in the embodied carbon space, with a collective 70 years of experience in the built environment and over 100 scientific publications in the area of reducing carbon emissions from buildings, making them uniquely positioned to tackle this problem. They have already secured pilots with some of the design and engineering corporate heavyweights.
