Aclymate's mission is to create a world where everyone is educated about and empowered to act for humanity's best climate future. In service of this, the company is committed to inspiring and equipping small businesses to lead on climate mitigation. Pioneering climate solutions, Aclymate has created a holistic platform for small-to-mid-sized businesses (SMBs) to measure, track, offset, reduce, and report on their emissions in pursuit of a net-zero future.

The Beginning of the Journey

Aclymate co-founder and CEO, Mike Smith, began his journey with Aclymate when, as a young lad, he had an awakening about the forces of climate change. He watched forests burn down in his backyard as a child and was told that nature would slowly heal itself; but when he returned to his childhood hometown, 20 years later, the forests hadn't grown back. This made Mike feel urgent and responsible to do something; thus, he turned into an advocate for mitigating climate change.

Finally, Mike's journey introduced him to William Loopesko, the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Aclymate. Will loved animals and the outdoors and had a developing product that had to do with measuring the temperature of dogs. The two entrepreneurs met through an entrepreneurs' group, and hit it off, with a common dream of making climate change accessible to all.
