Coastal Carbon is a seed-funded startup on a mission to create positive impact through earth observation and AI. Founded at the University of Waterloo by a team of PhDs and engineers, we’re backed by some of the best AI and climate tech investors like HF0, Inovia Capital and Propeller Ventures, angels like James Tamplin (cofounder Firebase) and Sid Gorham (cofounder OpenTable, Granular), and partners like Amazon AWS and the United Nations. We’re building multimodal foundation models for the natural world. We believe there’s more to the world than the internet + more to intelligence than memorizing the internet. Our models are trained on satellite remote sensing and real world ground truth data, and are used by our customers in nature conservation, carbon dioxide removal, and government to protect and positively impact our increasingly changing world. Our ultimate goal is to build AGI of the natural world.

LumiQ is a native podcast app where engaging conversations with business leaders count as verifiable CPD (continued professional development) for CPAs. With a slick mobile app, automatic CPD tracking, and over 150 episodes, we've made CPD something it's never been before: enjoyable.

With engaging interviews with business, finance and accounting leaders, CPAs get to learn from the best minds in the world and get these credits when they're on their commute or at the gym. Some of our guests include: Jim Balsillie (Founder of Blackberry), Mike Katchen (Founder of Wealthsimple), Colleen Johnston (FMR. CFO of TD), Navdeep Bains (Federal Minister of Innovation) and hundreds of other successful professionals.
