Even if you’d run from that opportunity as fast as your legs could carry you, that businessman, WeWork founder, and former CEO Adam Neumann has already raised $70 million for his new venture. It’s a Web3 climate venture that goes by the name of Flowcarbon. The investment dollars have flowed in from a venture round and the sale of a cryptocurrency called “Goddess nature Token.”
Here’s what the website for the new company says under their “About” tab.
“Flowcarbon operates at the intersection of the voluntary carbon market and Web3, leveraging blockchain to scale climate change solutions.”
Here’s how Vice simplified that explanation. Flowcarbon allows “nature-based” projects to sell carbon credits to companies that want to lower their carbon footprint. It will then enable those tokenized credits to be traded on cryptocurrency exchanges.
Essentially, Neumann and his partners are doing this on the blockchain to make it easier to raise money for climate projects.
