💡 Swibeco's story illustrates how a simple idea can become a successful company with the right people: ✅ a great team pushing forwards towards the vision ✅ a co-founder to share thoughts in challenging times ✅ strategic partners who multiply your network ✅ investors who collaborate with you to grow the business sustainably 🚀 Also, the founder’s personality and drive needs to match the startup live.

🌱 The net zero goals from the Paris Climate Agreement only are attainable if we reduce emissions and remove surplus CO2 from the atmosphere at the same time. 🏭 In an almost heroic manner, Valentin Gutknecht and Johannes Tiefenthaler decided to take on the responsibility and contribute to the solution at scale. “We wanted to develop an economically attractive solution to remove CO2 from the atmosphere that is both quickly scalable as well as high-quality.” Driven by an intrinsic motivator and the higher goal of solving a real and pressing global problem, they founded neustark. The goal: permanently remove 1 million tons of CO2 in 2030. 🌎 🗓️ Read neustark’s inspiring story from idea, to vision to preparing to scale-up here: https://lnkd.in/eiVbC64Z Congratulations to the whole team of neustark for the well-deserved SEF.Growth High Potential Label! 👏🏼 #SEF #Growth #highpotential #scaleup #SuccessStory #innovation
