We had a blast getting to speak at Moonshot by TechCabal last week on a panel seamlessly moderated by Nnamdi Ehirim. Time and time again, climate change is seen in many ways a problem created outside of Africa, but a problem that will impact Africans so disproportionately harder. It was great to get the chance to share how we believe African businesses can tap into carbon accounting and climate financing to continue to reduce our contribution, but more importantly hit back against the burden it will bring to our workplaces and communities.

Thank you for featuring Earthbond on your impact startup radar! 🌏 At Earthbond, we are committed to making reliable solar energy affordable for productive Africans. Backed by Catalyst Fund, our platform connects SMBs with tailored financing and top installation providers, addressing the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions in Nigeria. Together, we're driving a cleaner, more reliable future for small businesses. ☀️💚 #SolarEnergy #CleanEnergy #SMBs #Sustainability #ImpactStartup #Earthbond #CatalystFund.
☀️ On my impact startup radar: Earthbond 💰 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 Catalyst Fund, Earthbond is on a mission to make reliable solar energy affordable for urban Africans. Earthbond is building an integrated solar marketplace matching small and medium businesses (SMBs) with financing for solar assets and installation providers tailored to their budgets and energy needs. Their platform makes solar energy financing accessible to overlooked SMBs via partnerships with banks, micro-lenders, and solar companies. 💚 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹: “Across Africa, small and medium businesses (SMBs) already grappling with unreliable electricity infrastructure face deepening energy access challenges due to climate change. In Nigeria, businesses face an unstable electrical supply, with the nation's grid collapsing 46 times from 2017 to 2023. This forces them to rely on expensive and dirty fossil-fuel-powered generators. This costs Nigerian businesses over $29 billion annually. As climate impacts intensify, the need for affordable, reliable, and clean energy solutions for SMBs will grow.” 💪🏾 Intrigued to learn about the work of Earthbound in sustainably transitioning small businesses onto affordable clean energy for groups facing interconnected energy poverty and climate threats. 🤓 More on: - https://lnkd.in/d2GshZBM - https://earthbond.co/ #solarenergy #cleanenergy #catalyticfund #impactinvesting

This success highlight our commitment to making solar energy accessible and rewarding. As we enter the new quarter, we remain dedicated to delivering customized, impactful solutions for our customers. #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #CostSavings #Earthbond #NewQuarter Read more: https://lnkd.in/d4SnJg2V
