Patch, a San Francisco, CA-based climate-tech firm making meaningful climate action part of everyone's business, announced that it raised $55 million in Series B funding, bringing the company's total capital to $80 million.
The round was led by Energize, with participation from new investors B Capital Group, AENU, Blue Impact, Andrew Robb, Frank Slootman, GIC, and MCJ Collective, as well as current investors Coatue Management, Version One Ventures, and Andreessen Horowitz.
The capital will continue to support hiring, growth into new markets, and the development of an expanding technology footprint, putting the company on track to deliver massive climate impact across the globe.
“We are at a crucial pivot point, and it’s essential we get as many companies as possible taking action to reverse climate change, but many struggle with how to integrate this action into their business,” said Brennan Spellacy, CEO and co-founder of Patch. “At Patch, we are changing that. Our infrastructure lowers the barrier to entry for both businesses and climate project developers looking to enter the carbon market which, in turn, could help unlock 20% of the climate change solution the world so desperately needs.”
Patch saw incredible demand in the last year, growing its customer base five times to more than 100 companies worldwide.
