About InPlanet
InPlanet is a mission-driven, remote-first ClimateTech startup headquartered between Germany Brazil and the US with hubs in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, New York and London. We’re scaling Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) in tropical agriculture as a powerful method to remove carbon, regenerate soils, and transform the way food is grown in the tropics.
Our vision is simple but bold: to sequester gigatons of CO2 while regenerating tropical soils in order to create a liveable planet with nutritious food and healthy ecosystems for future generations. We’re doing this in partnership with farmers, scientists, and industry leaders - and we’re growing fast.
Our company culture blends people-first care and performance excellence. The Rocket represents our ambition and drive; the Heart symoolizes our focus on empathy, integrity, and collective impact.
We’re proud of our globally diverse team and inclusive culture. Our teams span across continents, but our boots are firmly on the ground in Brazil - where the real climate impact happens.
