We have great news: CEEZER secured €10.3 million in series A funding!

We’re extremely excited to collaborate with HV Capital, who lead the round with the participation from existing investors: Norrsken VC, Picus Capital, and Carbon Removal Partners. With the new funding, we’ll establish our presence in the US, grow our team, and introduce additional carbon portfolio financing solutions to our leading platform for corporate carbon buyers and project developers.

For a true net zero economy

Companies navigating the complexities of carbon removal and reduction face the challenges of selecting and purchasing the right credits to meet emission targets. CEO and Co-founder Magnus Drewelies states, with the expansion of our global footprint, “we’ll enable more companies to proficiently manage their carbon credit portfolios, optimize climate impact, and ultimately deliver on ambitious climate strategies.”

Since starting CEEZER, we have served over 50 corporate customers and collaborated with more than 150 project developers. We’ve driven superior climate finance solutions, ensuring our buyers easy, secure, and direct access to high-quality projects, guided by data. Today marks a pivotal moment for CEEZER and our mission to enhance transparency and accessibility within the voluntary carbon market.
