About Abatable

Abatable’s mission is to enable corporate climate action by building the infrastructure for businesses and investors to navigate, access and support credible climate solutions delivering long-lasting positive environmental and social impact. The team is achieving this by backing innovative, high-quality carbon projects alongside leveraging a product-led approach to scaleable solutions.
Abatable was founded in July 2021, and we are backed by experienced investors such as Global Founders Capital, Blue Bear Capital, Y Combinator (S21) and Azora. In April 2023, we raised a fresh round of $13.5M in funding and completed the acquisition of Ecosphere+, a leading provider of high-integrity nature-based solutions.
We are a diverse team working in a hybrid setup across two cities - London and Amsterdam. We put our values and mission front and centre in everything we do. If you want to know more, read about our team and values on our About us page.
