Terraspect is backed by leading VCs and marquee angels to accelerate climate finance across the Global South. We work with the best nature-based solutions projects and are scaling our platform to 60+ countries, 100s of projects, 10,000s of individual community members, and $Ms in climate payments. Our team and advisors join us from world-class organisations like Stripe, Revolut, Palantir, YCombinator, Sendwave, Climate Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, M-Pesa, MIT, IUCN, ICVCM and more.
Raj worked with regenerative agriculture projects in East Africa and later helped corporates raise debt to fund decarbonisation. In the process, he saw how nature-based solutions were crucial to solving climate change and this belief was cemented after talking to carbon project developers.
After Wilhelm & Raj met, we had spoken to over 150 carbon project developers, credit buyers, registries and investors to understand their challenges. We both saw how they struggle to pay communities on the ground in an efficient and traceable manner.
This was becoming a bottleneck to developers bringing projects online, as credit buyers and project investors were increasingly scrutinising community payment mechanisms. This results in a challenge for developers to meet the expectations of institutional buyers and investors, in turn limiting access to capital for crucial natural climate projects.
We are on a mission to bring billions in climate finance to communities with the biggest climate impact
To avoid breaching 1.5°C of heating our planet, we need serious cash moving into nature-based solutions—fast. We’re talking the biggest capital shift from the Global North to the Global South.
The way capital flows today is broken—inefficient and stuck in the past, using outdated solutions from the 80s. We saw the bottlenecks holding progress back and knew something had to change.
So, we stepped in to fix it. Our focus? Making sure money gets into the right hands and drives real impact for people and the planet.
At Terraspect, we’re building the financial backbone to direct global climate funding where it matters most. Our infrastructure is making sure that funding reaches the frontline communities of climate action — transparently and efficiently.
The result? Projects get financed faster. Implementation speeds up. Long-term sustainability strengthens as communities gain better financial access. And the social impact grows in tandem with climate impact.
