This time last year, we had just accepted and joined the Techstars Alabama EnergyTech Accelerator Fall Class of 2023. They were among the first to see that Clever's plan to disrupt the way stakeholders navigate the carbon credit market was something to pay attention to and ultimately fund. We are forever grateful and want to congratulate the other Techstars companies that have made impressive headway in a tough market. Read their August Update Report.
With last week’s important announcement that the Fed will cut key interest rates by 0.5%, easing macro conditions align with Clever’s business objectives presenting an optimal time to invest in the business. Clever soon will be raising capital to expand on our recent successes, drive returns to our investors, and enact the change required to make carbon markets functional and effective for all stakeholders. If you are interested in investing, watch our quick demo day video, go to our website, and connect with rick@cleveroffsets.com. More on this to come soon.
Read on to see who we have welcomed to the team and progress we made this past month.
Climate Week NYC
To all Climate Week NYC attendees, Clever extends a warm welcome to our vibrant city. Let's connect and make the most of your visit!
New to the Clever Team
Last month, we welcomed Natallia Pashko to Clever as our new Product Manager. An operations virtuoso, before joining Clever, she was instrumental in the early development of our public platform during her tenure as a Project Manager at Paralect. In addition to supporting Clever, she is ambitiously pursuing her second degree in Global Environmental Studies at Leuphana University of Lüneburg. We are thrilled to have such a talented team dedicated to Clever's success and our company values.

Current Affairs
Last month Verra cracked down on VVBs by rejecting 37 rice cultivation projects due to "serious issues" with quality and evidence supporting impact claims. OPIS's Henry Kronk reported the story for the Dow Jones publication and contacted Clever for comment quoting us in his story. We share with OPIS analysis showing the four VVBs implicated are responsible for more than 800 projects and nearly 150m credits issued to date. As the market functions today, the developer HCBL Project Associate Sally Fabian Llantoy stated, "It really takes time to find companies that have a credible record". The action taken by Verra accords well with Clever's mission to reduce risk, and increase transparency and market involvement.
Clever's platform solves Sally's pain-point. Clever enables PREMIUM users to view VVB pages within the app that are dedicated to each verifier (140+ today) showing both a summary of their VCM involvement and a dynamic, comprehensive listing of their full range of project experience and market involvement. This is the only feature of its kind and it allows users to research and analyze a VVB’s entire record of experience--across registries, across geographies and scopes, across issuances and projects--all in one place. Just one more way in which Clever is removing mystery and risk from these markets by making data analyzable to stakeholders.
Raising the floor, Clever's try-before-you-buy product has set a new industry standard for data available to the public. Access now the largest structured VCM database, freely available to the public. Spend time optimizing decisions and scaling models, not assembling data. Leave that messy work to us! Clever validates, cleans, and delivers the actionable facts our clients need to do their jobs better.
