A SCOTTISH start-up that helps people measure their carbon footprint has raised more than £1 million in crowdfunding, more than double its original £400,000 target. Edinburgh-based Pawprint, which has developed a carbon footprinting app, raised the funds on crowdfunding platform Crowdcube from 720 investors. These include Perivoli Innovations, an early stage technology investor, who invested £150,000. It invests in new technologies which have a positive social impact and donates any resultant profits to charitable work that funds the improvement of nursery school education in sub-Saharan Africa. “Our ambition at Pawprint is to unite people and empower them to make an impact in the fight against climate change and we are blown away to have so many new investors join us and to have raised over £1 million,” said Pawprint chief executive Christian Arno, who founded the business in 2019.
