Mombak Overview

About Mombak

Mombak is a Brazilian carbon removal company based in Sao Paulo that reforests degraded Amazon pastureland and sells the resulting carbon removal credits. It was founded in 2021 by Peter Fernandez, a former Nubank finance chief, with a team of scientists. The company acquires deforested land, restores it with dozens of native tree species mainly through natural regeneration, and has third parties verify the credits. It manages the Amazon Reforestation Fund, which raised about US$120 million from investors including AXA, CPP Investments and Bain Capital, and is raising a second fund. Mombak reported five million trees planted across more than 45,000 acres and US$150 million of carbon removal contracts, with buyers such as Microsoft and Google. Union Square Ventures led its US$30 million Series A in April 2025.

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)$500KCPP Investments announced on 22 August 2023 a definitive agreement to make a US$500,000 equity investment in Mombak and to commit up to US$30 million to The Amazon Reforestation Fund that Mombak manages. The commitment helped the fund reach its US$100 million first-close target alongside a smaller contribution from the Rockefeller Foundation. For CPP Investments it is the first investment in Brazilian reforestation and the third in vehicles that scale nature-based carbon solutions, made through its Sustainable Energies group. Mombak's business model is centered on the creation, verification and sale of carbon removal credits: the fund reforests Brazilian pastureland with native and biodiverse tree species, and the credits are sold globally through spot sales and long-term offtake agreements. Mombak, based in Sao Paulo, was founded in 2021.
Jul 2023Undisclosed stageAXA Investment Managers (lead)-AXA IM Alts announced in July 2023 a USD 49 million commitment, made for its natural capital and impact investing strategy, to invest directly in Mombak reforestation projects and took a minority equity stake in Mombak. The equity stake supports the company in scaling up its operational and technological systems, and press reports put the contribution at BRL 235 million. The projects aim to reforest more than 10,000 hectares of degraded pastureland in the Brazilian Amazon through native species plantations and assisted natural regeneration, generating up to 6 million high-quality carbon credits. AXA IM Alts said the investment fits its broader commitment to mitigate climate change and avert the biodiversity crisis. Mombak, founded in 2021 in Sao Paulo, restores degraded pasture with 100% native species and sells the resulting carbon removal credits to corporate buyers.
Nov 2022Undisclosed stageUnion Square Ventures; Byers Capital; Kaszek; Conservation International Ventures; Bain Capital-Mombak, the Brazilian carbon removal company, announced its first outside backers in December 2022: Union Square Ventures, Bain Capital Partnership Strategies, Kaszek Ventures and Byers Capital, with Conservation International Ventures also on the register. The funding came as Mombak prepared its first project, a US$100 million fund to reforest the Amazon that had received significant commitments from institutional investors. Union Square Ventures said that nature-based reforestation offers the largest-scale opportunity to remove carbon today and that Mombak could remove one million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year at scale. Mombak is vertically integrated: it acquires deforested and degraded land, reforests it with dozens of native Brazilian tree species through natural regeneration, and works with third parties to verify the carbon offsets it then sells. The company was founded in 2021 in Sao Paulo.
