Hi, we are building kolum.earth - the one-stop technology solution for carbon pricing in international trade. 🌍
Carbon pricing regulations in international trade are quite exciting. Why? Because, for the first time, there are direct costs associated with emissions embedded in supply chains, meaning that organisations are incentivised to produce and purchase goods with lower emissions while other countries are encouraged to introduce their own carbon pricing regulations as well. This leads to a direct positive impact on global carbon emissions. 📉
While exciting in theory, the reality is that it poses significant challenges for organisations. They must:
✅ Comply with complex regulatory requirements, both for imports and exports.
📊 Track emissions in the required format back to the root of their supply chains.
💰 Integrate the additional cost factor of "carbon price" into their overall business strategy.
🤝 Harmonise their local carbon pricing regulations with those of other countries and regions, as well as with other emission trading schemes.
That is why kolum.earth exists: to build technology that simplifies the lives of organisations involved in international trade, assisting them in streamlining and optimising their reporting obligations, supply chain strategy, and carbon costs. 🌍
We developed our first prototype last year and have gained fantastic initial customers who greatly contributed to shaping our product roadmap. 🛣️
Currently, we are assembling a small team to implement the insights we've gathered over the past six months. We prioritise quality over quantity, team conviction over hierarchical structures, and focus and productivity over endless decision cycles. 👨👩👧👦
Over the next few months we are building a small core team that can help bring kolum to the next level. We are currently hiring for the following positions:
Our current focus is on assembling a productive Sales team. If you don't find a position that suits you but you believe in our mission and what we're striving to build, please reach out to [email protected] and [email protected] regardless. We're always looking for exceptional individuals and will explore how we can work together.
kolum.earth currently consists of the Helge, Marius, Niko (CTO), Ronny (Senior Backend Engineer) and Philipp (Senior Frontend Engineer). We are at the earliest stage possible and are seeking exceptional individuals to help build kolum from the ground up. There is a lot of room for experimentation, plenty to learn, and inevitable mistakes to be made, all of which we embrace. While some aspects are still a bit messy, others are becoming more structured.
