The Big Whale gives financial institutions the market intelligence, network, and platform to move with confidence in digital assets. Trusted by 150+ firms.

To become the preferred technological solution for financing projects that want to protect the environment. This is the ambition of Carbonable, co-founded in 2021 by the two Frenchmen Ramzi Laieb and Guillaume Leti.

In 2023, they announced that they had completed a seed funding round of €1.2 million, including from La Poste, XAnge and Ethereal Ventures, a venture capital fund launched by Joseph Lubin, one of the co-founders of the Ethereum blockchain and a leading figure in the ecosystem.

Globally, CarbonAble enables two things:

👉 Allowing anyone to use its technology developed on layer 2 Starknet to improve the traceability of funding. "Today, the carbon credit market suffers from a huge lack of confidence because of the lack of traceability. Our aim is to restore confidence in this market", Ramzi Laieb explains to The Big Whale.

👉 Putting projects whose aim is to preserve the environment in direct contact with both institutional and individual investors.

Operational since 2022, the platform therefore enables investors to take part in financing rounds at a very attractive price. After one year, investors will be able to receive returns from their financing. "Either the investor chooses to receive their returns in the form of carbon credits, or they decide to sell them back to CarbonAble to receive USDCs," adds Ramzi Laieb.

Operational since 2022, Carbonable now claims to work with more than 500 employees, including Pierre Fabre, Starkware and Orange, as co-pilots in their environmental regeneration efforts.

Among the other nominees in the category: Women In Web3, Circle, Lens Protocol and WorldCoin.

The election took place in part with the participation of The Big Whale community but without intervention from the team. Find out more about the voting process.
