Who We Are and What We Offer
Our Mission
Smart Mountain is a socially and environmentally conscious organization committed to providing sustainable financing solutions for climate action.
We will fight the climate emergency using inclusive, scaleable FinTech innovations to catalyze environmental restoration, adaptation and resilience that redounds to tradable value.
Our Services
In countries with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and mangroves, we utilise AI and Web3 technology to automate reliable:
  • Blue carbon financing
  • Resource mobilization
  • Impact measurement and evaluation
Our Approach
At Smart Mountain, we believe in a comprehensive approach to climate action that addresses both mitigation and adaptation.
We use rigorous verification and monitoring to measure the impact of our investments and ensure they align with our goals for a sustainable future.
Blue Carbon Financing: An Overview
Blue carbon financing is a new way of thinking about carbon credits. Rather than simply offsetting carbon emissions, we will enable development projects that sequester carbon, create carbon sinks, and offset the costs of 'suboptimal inaction' in blue carbon ecosystems, starting our pilot project with mangroves. Later research will include seagrasses, and saltmarshes.
Mangroves
Mangroves are trees or shrubs that grow in salty or brackish water along coastal areas. They grow in dense forests, forming a natural barrier against storms and erosion.
Seagrasses
Seagrasses are flowering plants that grow in shallow sea beds. They are an important habitat for many species of fish and marine mammals, as well as an important source of food for people who live near the coast.
Saltmarshes
Saltmarshes are coastal wetlands that are flooded and drained by tides. They are important ecosystems for many species of birds, fish, and invertebrates.
Gaining Proof of Concept: Investigating the feasibility of our Approach
At Smart Mountain, we are committed to ensuring that our investments have a positive impact on the environment and the communities that benefit from them. That's why we will use rigorous verification and monitoring to track the impact of our investments. We are aiming to have pilot projects in the Caribbean.
Impact on Climate
We aim to globally reduce carbon emissions by over 1 billion metric tons per year by 2035
Impact on Communities
We will work closely with all stakeholders, including local communities to ensure that they benefit from our investments. We will derisk the creation of new climate industry clusters, creating jobs, better livelihoods, and a better environment.
Impact on Biodiversity
Investments in our will help protect and restore critical habitats for endangered species such as sea turtles, dolphins, and coral reefs.
Smart Impact Special Purpose Vehicles (ISPVs): What They Are and How They Can Revolutionize Financing
Smart Mountain's Smart ISPVs are a new way of thinking about impact investing. They are investment vehicles that are designed to generate measurable positive impacts while also providing financial returns to investors.
Our smart ISPV de-risks the financing of blue carbon projects by combining verified impacts and an offset model to scale revolutionary Smart Impact Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). It will incentivize the trillions of Assets Under Management (AUM) dollars to invest in underdeveloped markets with blue carbon market potential. Smart Mountain aims to establish proof-of-concept by leveraging the advanced adoption of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and leading scientific research, garnering the baseline data for the carbon storage capacity of its mangroves. Unverifiable impact deters the deployment of funds to such projects. Smart Mountain fills this institutional gap, providing trusted, verifiable Special Purpose Vehicles derisking the financing of such opportunities. We offer a digital platform using AI and Web 3 technology to combine (1) trusted data capture, measurement and management of the impact of climate projects, (2) a unique offset model and (3) sustainable business approaches to optimize the commercial viability of projects. We hope we can prove this innovation and help advance the cause of the Regenerative Finance (ReFi) industry.
Scaling ISPVs: Enabling Widespread Adoption
At Smart Mountain, we believe that our Smart ISPVs are the future of impact investing. That's why we are committed to scaling our Smart Impact ISPVs and making them accessible to more investors and projects around the world. We will prioritize countries with both reliable baseline data for carbon storage in mangroves and CBDCs.
