Team for the Planet

Team for the Planet is a French climate innovation company founded to address the climate emergency by detecting, derisking, and deploying radical technologies capable of significantly reducing global CO₂ emissions. It operates a unique crowdfunding-based model, having raised 37 million euros from over 130,000 shareholders in five years to fund 14 innovations, with a target of 100, investing between €500k and €5M per solution. The firm recruits top entrepreneurs to co-manage these 'stars'—scientifically backed innovations—with their inventors, ensuring industrial scaling after achieving milestones like CEO placement, first sales, and technical progress; shareholders enjoy investment priority in direct opportunities via partner platforms and SPVs, with liquidity via buybacks or exits. Its philosophy centers on collective intelligence and community power from 600K+ followers to generate sales, talent, and awareness, delivering 'climate dividends' through certified CO₂ avoidance (83,554 tons since 2023, equivalent to millions of trees or flights), prioritizing high-impact gems overlooked by traditional finance over profit maximization. Geographically, it focuses on global scalability but appears Europe-centric, emphasizing French operations without explicit international expansion details.
