Alumn Marley Rafson launches climate tech startup Alcove, an inventory management system for carbon credits.
Every decarbonization company will be as, or more, essential to our society as banks, healthcare, and other global institutions. The climate crisis is certain, it is here, and there are already teams doing the herculean work of cooling our planet. And yet these teams, on their path to institutionalizing decarbonization, are using legacy systems and retrofitting generic, outdated software to support the rollout of their world-saving technologies.
Alcove is the software infrastructure purpose-built for the decarbonization industry, the next generation of institutional companies. Over the past few months, we quietly built our first product, an inventory management system for carbon credits, and are already serving some incredible decarbonization companies. From providers that bring clean energy to the dirtiest parts of the grid to projects ambitiously scaling direct air capture projects (DAC) on the heels of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), we have learned their workflows, pain points, and joys, inside and out.
