Empowering climate and
clean energy companies to take bold action on meaningful change.
Circle Box Ventures is an advisory firm focused on integrated ideas and scalable strategies to grow climate connectivity.
When it comes to creating clean energy transition solutions, there’s no shortage of ideas, talking, and planning. But there is a glaring shortage of action. That’s why we’re here. We have the deep-dive expertise to help you make big strides in your daring venture to create, launch, and market the solutions that are so vital to the health of our planet.
Our services are designed explicitly for companies and organizations seeking unconventional, paradigm-shifting, barrier-breaking approaches to our biggest problems. But while we love taking on monumental, complex, and extremely serious challenges, we don’t believe in taking ourselves seriously while doing it. Working with us is engaging, fun, and impactful.
Why Circle Box Ventures
We’re on a mission to help climate and clean energy companies bring our failing natural systems back into balance before it’s too late.
WE BELIEVE
At its core science equals curiosity:
never knowing, always seeking, and forever exploring.
To adapt to our rapidly changing future, we need all the voices and all the ideas considered equally.
Our Services
How can we help you make change?
Horizon
Scanning
To take advantage of new opportunities for growth and impact, you need to take a broader, more inclusive view of the climate industry landscape. We know what levers need to be considered—market, policy, technology, etc.—and how to bring them all together to support your efforts.
Strategic Venture
Sessions
Most strategic planning work is focused on getting consensus on a plan. But with climate initiatives, a plan isn’t going to solve our collective issues. That’s why our sessions are designed to really move: from idea to implementation, daydreaming to deployment, and plan to practice.
Action
Mapping
This service is a roll-up-your-sleeves engagement to make a roadmap for how to put your strategic vision, priorities, and plan into action. We tailor this work specifically to your organizational goals and work with you in a collaborative way to ensure you get to where you want to go quickly, efficiently and successfully.
About our founder
Hi, I’m Carmen.
I spent much of my 25-year career in clean energy and climate working alongside engineers, scientists, policy makers and business leaders. But it wasn’t until I took a much-needed gap year that I realized I had the skills, experience, and out-of-the-box systems thinking to help connect the disparate systems and be a catalyst for a paradigm shift in our industry, from incremental changes to bold, inspired action.
And I believe we not only need to increase the pace of implementation for all the boxy solutions we have in our toolbox, but we also need to urgently invite more of nature’s interconnected, complex, circuitous, and often overlooked circular solutions.
This isn’t a job for me, it’s my passion. Because I know that it’s imperative we implement more of these solutions before it’s too late for our children’s future.
