About Mombak

Mombak is a Brazil-based carbon removal company that plants native tree species across 45,000 acres of degraded Amazon rainforest land. The firm generates verifiable carbon credits through biodiverse reforestation projects, which corporations such as Microsoft, Google, and McLaren purchase to offset emissions. Mombak partners with Santander Brasil and BNDES through Brazil's New Climate Fund for large-scale restoration efforts. The company targets planting eight million trees by June 2025 to position Brazil prominently in the global carbon offset market.

DateStageInvestorsRaisedDeal Summary
Apr 2025Series AUnion Square Ventures (lead); AXA Alternative Investments; Kaszek; Lowercarbon Capital; Copa Investimentos; Bain Capital$30MMombak is a Brazilian startup focused on carbon removal through reforestation in the Amazon, acquiring degraded land, planting native tree species, and selling verified carbon credits to buyers addressing CO2 emissions. The company has planted five million native trees across over 45,000 acres and secured $150 million in carbon removal contracts, with ambitions to quadruple this volume in 2025 and reach eight million trees by June. It operates a vertically integrated model including land acquisition, reforestation via natural regeneration, and third-party verification of offsets. On April 29, 2025, Mombak raised $30 million in a Series A round led by Union Square Ventures, with participation from AXA IM Alts (formerly AXA Alternative Investments), Bain Capital, Copa Investimentos, Kaszek Ventures, and Lowercarbon Capital. This brings total funding to approximately $200 million across seven rounds, used to scale operations from startup to scale-up phase, expanding reforestation and carbon credit generation. Additional institutional support includes R$100 million from BNDES and Santander via Fundo Clima Novo. The round reflects growing investor confidence in carbon removal as a key climate industry, with backers like Union Square Ventures highlighting Mombak's potential to turn the Amazon into a global engine for restoration. Traction includes commitments from buyers like Google (50,000 metric tons by 2030) and Microsoft (up to 1.5 million credits), amid a $40 trillion climate market and $300+ billion ESG boom. Future milestones involve Verra-certified credits by late 2025, 20,000-hectare expansion in early 2025 targeting 50,000+ hectares by 2026, and navigating regulatory hurdles for scalability.
Aug 2023Undisclosed stageCPP Investments (lead)$30MMombak is a Brazilian startup founded in 2021 by Peter Fernandez, focused on creating high-quality carbon removal credits through reforesting the Amazon using native and diverse tree species in partnership with local communities. On August 22, 2023, CPP Investments announced a US$500,000 equity investment in Mombak and a commitment of up to US$30 million to The Amazon Reforestation Fund managed by Mombak, helping the fund reach its $100 million target alongside a $5 million investment from the Rockefeller Foundation. This marks CPP Investments' first investment in Brazilian reforestation and third in nature-based carbon solutions. Mombak's business model centers on the creation, verification, and sale of carbon removal credits, targeting premium buyers seeking verified removal rather than avoidance offsets. The company pre-sells credits at over $50 each, positioning it to scale operations amid rising demand in voluntary carbon markets. CPP's Sustainable Energies group, with net assets of approximately C$32 billion as of June 30, 2023, supports decarbonization efforts including this investment. Separate from the CPP deal, Mombak secured a $30 million Series A led by Union Square Ventures with participation from Kaszek, Bain Capital, AXA IM Alts, Lowercarbon Capital, and Copa Investimentos, bringing total funding to $200 million. Mombak aims to deploy $1 billion in Amazon reforestation over the next three to five years, addressing bottlenecks like seed shortages while enhancing carbon market credibility.
Jun 2023Undisclosed stageAXA Investment Managers (lead)$49MMombak is a Brazil-based carbon removal startup founded in 2021, specializing in large-scale reforestation of degraded Amazon pastureland with native tree species to generate high-integrity carbon credits for the voluntary offset market, while providing co-benefits like biodiversity restoration, watershed improvement, and local employment. In mid-2023, AXA IM Alts committed USD $49 million directly to Mombak's reforestation projects and acquired a minority equity stake to support scaling operational and technological systems, aligning with AXA's natural capital strategy. This investment targets restoring Amazon rainforest and aims to position Mombak to remove 1 million tons of CO2 annually by 2030. Later, in 2024 or 2025, Mombak raised a $30 million Series A led by Union Square Ventures, with participation from AXA IM Alts, Kaszek, Bain Capital, Lowercarbon Capital, and Copa Investimentos, bringing total funding to $200 million; by then, the company had secured $150 million in carbon removal contracts and planted five million trees over 45,000 acres, targeting eight million by June.
