Opna

Opna is a London-based climate tech fintech company founded in 2021 by Shilpika Gautam. The company focuses on accelerating capital flow into high-quality carbon removal and climate projects through innovative financing solutions. Opna enables companies to finance prospective carbon removal projects upfront, addressing the challenges that project developers face in accessing traditional financing. The company utilizes proprietary technology to assess project risk at bank standards, allowing developers to apply for funding by submitting their project data. This model increases the supply of transparent and high-quality carbon credits, helping buyers understand the full lifecycle of their purchases while providing developers with necessary upfront capital. Opna primarily serves a B2B marketplace, connecting companies and organizations with verified climate projects that aim to reduce, avoid, or remove carbon emissions. Its services include financing climate projects, risk assessment, and supporting a diverse range of initiatives such as renewable energy and reforestation. Opna is committed to helping achieve global climate goals and has formed strategic partnerships to enhance its impact.
