LocalGlobe has led a seed financing round for Academy to build talent and leadership infrastructure for the technology sector.
"Too many of the most talented individuals are not able to access careers in technology – creating a talent bottleneck for the whole of the tech industry. If we are to build a globally successful tech industry then we need the best people starting their careers in technology at fast-growing companies – the exact talent blueprint that drove THG to its multi-billion dollar success. This funding round will help Academy to create that common talent and leadership infrastructure for the most ambitious companies."
The pre-seed round was led by LocalGlobe to scale the carbon removal platform ahead of COP26.
"Most businesses understand that the only way to prevent a climate emergency involves meaningful action from the private sector. The problem today is not a lack of commitment, but a lack of trusted resources in an industry full of complexity, jargon and greenwashing."
