ClimateTech with Kentaro - 4. NCX’s Max Nova

4. NCX’s Max Nova

03/16/22 • 30 min

Fresh off their $50 million Series B raise, Max Nova’s journey of building and growing NCX is an inspiring story on its own. NCX (previously SilviaTerra) is a forest carbon marketplace that connects corporations buying carbon offsets to landowners in America.

In this episode, Max talks about how he went from a Yale undergrad founder in his dorm room to working with Fortune 500 companies that made big climate commitments. We talk about what carbon offsets and credits mean — and the challenges and opportunities of bringing landowners into the forest carbon market.

If you are interested in learning more about what Max and their team are up to, head on over to NCX.
