Climate venture builder

A dedicated space, close to the city centre, for building and experimenting with climate tech hardware. Freshly set up - in June 2022, and looking for engineers who would like to build their startups with us.

First meetup

Our first meetup, for friends and professionals from the field.

- Tomasz Kolinko (Freespace) - a few words about the space
- Jacek Królikowski (Ampersand) - words of wisdom about prototyping physical hardware
- Adam Jastrzębski - about the regenerative farming

See the slides

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a coworking space?

We don't rent space, we work with startups and individuals and take shares. But feel free to drop by for one of our meetups, hackathons, or to just grab a coffee!

How are you different from a hacker space?

We are more startup oriented, not maker oriented. Also, a bit more extroverted ;)

Can I visit you?

Sure! We organise occasional meetups, hackathons and open days. Feel free to reach out to us.

#define Hardware

Things that you cannot build in an office space.

#define Climate

Energy storage (electric, heat), energy production, carbon capture, smart mobility, HVAC, and we'd do nuclear if not for strict regulations

How are you financed?

Private capital for now, possibly corporate in the future, and we avoid government grants as much as possible.

Areas of interest

In these fields we either have an ongoing project, or some level of expertise.

HVAC The winter is coming, and our building has no insulation or heating yet.

A standard approach would be to hire a specialist company to design and install everything. Our approach is to do it all ourselves, to get hands-on experience with such systems.
Carbon Capture Nobody got ever fired for planting trees... But to reach the climate goals we may need other solutions as well.

On the picture you can see a box with all the carbon dioxide extracted from it, done as one of the experiments.
Energy production We don't have an active energy production project yet, but we would like very much to have one.

We may have space for geothermal experiments, and we would love to talk to people interested in solar and wind production.
Energy storage Either heat, or electric. Either short-term, or long term.

This field seems especially full of creativity and ingeniuity.
Smart mobility In our few short months of operation, we were visited by at least six different kinds of electric vehicles. Cars, motorcycles, various rideables, drones, and even an electric forklift.

It's just a matter of time before someone builds one from scratch over here.
Hydroponics Mateusz - one of the Freespace cofounders - was doing hydroponics before joining us. So we definitely have an expertise over here.

Unlike with other areas, we don't have a business case here yet, but we're open to suggestions.
