Novo Ventures

The first founder discussion in our new FounderFocus series - Robin Gray, Co-Founder & CEO at Gray Jones Media, talks about how they are bridging the gap between blue chip brands and the LGBTQ+ community.

Novo is pleased to have been appointed by CO2-Zero Ltd, a ground-breaking CO2 capture and storage organisation, to support their development and growth at an incredibly exciting and transformative time for the global carbon capture industry.   CO2-Zero has undertaken extensive tests whereby Olivine, a naturally occurring mineral, is added to sea water to accelerate permanent capture of CO2 from the atmosphere. Furthermore, CO2-Zero has secured exclusive rights to mine high-grade Olivine (very low Chrome and Nickel content). Upon completion of initial funding, the business will develop and operate its first site in West Africa to showcase their novel and highly effective carbon capture technology.   Chief Operating Officer of CO2-Zero, John Kenny, states: “We have been very impressed with the support and guidance that Novo has provided thus far, and look forward to working with them to realise what we believe will become a key part of the future of CO2 capture. This truly is a changemaking venture with global outreach, immense scalability, and most importantly, a positive impact upon a global issue that simply isn’t going away." Taj Heer from Novo highlights: “This is such an inspiring venture to be working with. The team is highly credible, experienced and have already delivered exceptional early results in testing. CO2-Zero have the potential to be a game-changer in one of the most important growth industries today.”

We’re proud to be working alongside the fantastic team at Love Writing Co as they embark on the next phase of the business’s growth trajectory! Their steadfast focus on creating child led products that support literacy development has opened up incredible global license opportunities (soon to be announced!), whilst also securing international expansion channels in the US. Novo’s extensive experience in the Early Years and Education & Training sectors will support a long-term, value driven partnership with Love Writing Co. Additionally, given the world’s limitless hunger for technology, it is great to be supporting a business that is using non-software-based innovation to teach traditional and core skills in children (anything but another e-learning app!).
