CUR8 Raises Seed Round Led by Airbus Ventures

CUR8 Raises Seed Round Led By Airbus Ventures To Scale The Carbon Removals Market Infrastructure

London, 22nd September 2025 – CUR8, the carbon removals intelligence platform, announced at Goals House during New York Climate Week their seed round fundraise led by Airbus Ventures, with participation from existing investors GV (Google Ventures) and CapitalT.

This raise solidifies CUR8’s position among the leaders building the infrastructure for a future trillion-dollar carbon dioxide removal (CDR) market. CUR8 partners with organisations across the global economy, from aviation and financial services to consumer goods and the built environment – delivering solutions that accelerate the net-zero ambitions of customers such as British Airways, Standard Chartered Bank and Coca-Cola HBC.

This latest fundraise comes following important policy developments globally, including the UK Government’s decision to include CDRs in its own Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS); the German Government’s €50m CDR budget; and the Singapore Government’s public procurement of CDR. Contrary to speculation that demand for carbon removal is stalling, 2025 purchases are on track to exceed $8-10bn, 3x growth from 2024 figures.

With 20+ carbon removal methods, 2000+ project developers and emerging standards, organisations are faced with issues of complexity, access and risk on their route to meet their net zero targets. With those challenges comes an opportunity to build the carbon removal operating system that enables organisations to plan, buy, and manage high-quality removals with confidence, while unlocking capital for leading project developers.

Following the launch of CUR8’s offtake financing product and corporate planning tool earlier this year, this new investment is set to accelerate CUR8’s next phase of growth. Looking forward, the company plans to use this funding to accelerate its product roadmap, scale its carbon finance offering, and expand internationally to meet the urgent and growing demand for credible net zero solutions.

Marta Krupinska, CEO & Co-Founder of CUR8 said:

“Building a new trillion dollar industry requires bold bets, and to date we’ve seen both Big Tech and aviation lead the way in removals. We are delighted with this vote of confidence from Airbus Ventures, alongside our existing investors, GV (Google Ventures) and CapitalT. It clearly points to the business value in investing in carbon removal, and the financial opportunity in shaping the infrastructure for this new industry.”

Nicole Conner, Partner at Airbus Ventures said:

“Since our inception, we’ve been investing in solutions capable of unlocking entirely new economies. Alongside frontier and aerospace innovations, we’re proud to back CUR8. Scaling up a science-led and technology-driven B2B platform, Marta and Gabrielle have established CUR8 as a trusted carbon removal portfolio provider. CUR8's flywheel approach to underwriting climate projects and helping interested buyers navigate this new area of asset class are essential to building the foundation for this market’s infrastructure.”

Luna Schmid, Partner at GV (Google Ventures) said:

“CUR8’s offering provides a single platform that enables buyers, sellers and financial institutions to achieve their net zero ambitions. We at GV are delighted to continue to support Marta and Gabrielle as they build the foundational infrastructure needed to scale the global carbon removal market.”

Nicole Conner of Airbus Ventures will be joining CUR8’s Board. Sitting alongside Marta Krupinska (CEO & Co-Founder, CUR8), Gabrielle Walker (Chief Scientist & Co-Founder, CUR8) and Luna Schmid (Partner, GV), this makes CUR8 one of the few all female Boards of a high growth VC backed company.
