See you on the 22nd!
17/ How can I get involved?
Your evolution from homo sapien to Ecosapien awaits. We’ve set aside a few final spots for our Greenlist which you can apply for here: https://t.co/1RudywV2MS.
We’ll reach out if you’re accepted! Meanwhile, join our Discord to meet our community!
16/ The potential impact
A 10,000-piece collection, at 18 tonnes apiece, would sequester 180,000 tons of carbon, reforesting a landmass the size of San Francisco AND Oakland.
This would represent the single largest purchase of carbon by consumers IN HISTORY.
15/ What's your big vision?
We envision building out an entire Ecoverse, a term we coined to represent a suite of products that align what’s good for you with what’s good for the planet. It's a full-stack tech platform that is both B2B and B2B2C.
Product ideas we're exploring:
14/ The lore
Some Ecosapiens grow trees that absorb 100x carbon, some release a flame suppressing pollen to stop forest fires at their start, and others restore coral reefs with a specialized bio-ink. Their potential "superpowers'' are as endlessly inventive as nature itself.
13/ The collection
There are many species of Ecosapien: the Leosapien, Elesapien, Jellasapien, and even a Vulcasapien (stops supervolcano eruptions), to name a few.
To start, our alpha collection will feature Eco: our main character.
12/ Kane blends biological & mechanical materials to create sci-fi creatures that explore themes of climate change, tech's impact, & the world's ecosystem. Inspired by 20th and 21st-century artists, his work highlights the effects on humanity & the potential for salvation.
10/ Along the way we've been featured in a number of publications including Nasdaq, Yahoo Finance, Blockster, + more.

We've also become leaders in ReFi which we wrote about here: https://t.co/PGvJkFidGf
We're extremely grateful for your support!
9/ More recently, we won a Motion Award for Best Motion Design NFT for our BioGenesis/EcoGenesis teaser. It was an honor to be recognized alongside runner-up @doodles.

8/ So what's happened in 1 year?
We've been busy! For starters, we’ve cultivated the premier web3/climate community. We now sit at over 60k followers across our socials.
Back in June, we had the opportunity to host an IRL art event with our community at NFT NYC! It was a blast.
7/ Our Team
Our founding team has a unique background in climate tech, advertising, venture capital, and art.
CEO: Nihar has been in venture capital for 6+ years most recently at Menlo Ventures.
CCO: Garret was formerly a Creative Director at several global ad agencies.
6/ Our Investors
In May of 2022, we announced our raise of $1.5M from Tier 1 investors in crypto, climate, and consumer to build upon our thesis of making climate action easy. Since then, we’ve been hard at work building our community, culture, collection, and team.
4/ The implications of our Impact-2-Earn™️ are broad, with applications intercepting the payments and e-commerce layer on the web. Read our full thesis here: https://t.co/XttIZJEsPA
Now, you may be wondering, where does this impact happen?
Find out below👇🏻
3/ Impact x art
For the first time in the NFT space, we've created an Impact-2-Earn™️ model that gives you the owner to the ability to increase the rarity** of your character by infusing more carbon over time. Protect forests = increase rarity = good for you and planet.
2/ About us
Our goal is to give you the tools to make a positive impact on the planet. Our alpha product, the carbon-backed collectible, enables just that.
Each piece is backed by 16 tons of carbon that offsets 1 year of your carbon footprint by protecting real world forest.
One year ago, we raised $1.5M in VC to bring something truly innovative to web3: the world's first carbon-backed collectibles.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our EcoGenesis collection, a limited edition of 350 pieces that go live on Feb 22nd.
