Describe your solution in one-line: what you do, for whom, and why it is meaningfully better?

Why now: what changed (tech, regulation, cost curve, geopolitics) that makes this timely?

What is real today vs. hypothesized? (clearly separate the two)

Your Solution

What evidence or hypothesis do you have for step-change impact potential (10x improvement or more)?

Please provide specific data or reasoning.

What is the scientific basis for your approach? Has it been validated at lab scale?

Please provide relevant research or references.

What are the major uncertainties or 'unknown unknowns' in your approach?

Please be candid about radical uncertainties.

What are your key performance indicators (KPIs) and milestones for the next 24 months?

What are your key 'kill criteria' or disqualifiers that would quickly indicate if the pathway won't work?

What are the main obstacles to scaling your solution?

Please describe deployment dynamics and your awareness of scaling challenges.

What is your current TRL (Technology Readiness Level) and when do you expect to reach TRL 9?

Is there IP, and do you own it? Are there patents filed or approved? Are there IP licenses in place?

How is your solution unique compared to your main competitors and industry peers? Who are the key competitors?

Team

What is the motivational journey behind your team? Why is your team uniquely positioned and driven to solve this problem?

Please provide examples of your team's demonstrated ability to execute novel ideas rapidly, whether in academia, industry, or other contexts.

Do you consider the co-founding team complete, or are you looking for additional co-founders to join?

Climate Impact

In what carbon-escalation category does your solution fit? (Avoid / Convert / Remove / Undo)

What is your estimate of the total addressable carbon market size for this pathway?

Please provide data and assumptions.

What is the asymmetric climate upside scenario — how large could the climate impact be even if the financial outcome is only moderate?

What is the risk of emissions leakage, rebound effects, or burden-shifting elsewhere in the value chain? How do you mitigate this?

Are animals materially present in your value chain? If so, how does your model treat animal welfare, and is net impact positive?

What is the annual Megaton (MT) CO2e reduction potential at maximum scale, and in what year do you aim to hit the 1 Mt per annum threshold?

Commercial Traction

What commercial traction exists today — LOIs, pilots, paying customers, ARR? What is the quality of that evidence?

What is your go-to-market strategy for the next 12–18 months, and what is your deal cycle / sales velocity?

What is your pricing model and unit economics today, and what does the path to your target margin look like?

Funding

How does the cap table look today and how many unconverted SAFEs, CLAs, or loans are there since inception?

What are the proposed deal terms — valuation, instrument type, any special conditions or side letters?

Map the specific use of proceeds to milestones that de-risk the next funding event. What does each tranche unlock?

What do you want from CarbonFix beyond capital?

Be specific: introductions, partnerships, narrative support, syndication help, ecosystem access.

How much have you raised in hard commitments for this round so far (signed contracts, grants, SAFEs, CLAs)?

If Climate Engine / CarbonFix didn't exist, how would you finance the roadmap to your next key milestone?

Please add a presentation that supports your application.
