In this episode hosted by Sara Jones, we speak to Eliot Brooks, CEO and Co-founder of Cocoon Carbon. In just 18 months, the cofounding team has scaled their technology to TRL6, raised $5.4m in pre-seed funding, and grown the company to 12 people.

Why does concrete matter? Concrete is the second most used man-made material after water. It's also one of the biggest single emitters of carbon dioxide, responsible for 8% of emissions. If it was a country, it would be the 3rd or 4th most polluting country in the world.

Sara Jones is Head of Marketing at Carbon13. She's worked in London's startup ecosystem for well over a decade and has been with Carbon13 since 2020, turning it into one of the strongest magnets for climate focused entrepreneurs in Europe.
