🇩🇪 Happy Ground’s First Live Pitch at Trust Venture’s Event in Berlin

We’re thrilled to share that Happy Ground had the incredible opportunity to pitch live at Trust Venture’s event in Berlin—marking a major milestone in our journey to bring regenerative agriculture and climate solutions to the world stage.

This was Happy Ground’s first-ever live pitch, and it was a moment we will always cherish. The event brought together impact-driven startups, investors, and sustainability leaders, providing a platform for innovators like us to present our vision and solutions for scaling carbon removal and agricultural regeneration.

What We Pitched: A Vision for Regenerative Agriculture and Carbon Removal

At the heart of Happy Ground’s mission is the desire to empower farmers while fighting climate change. During our pitch, we shared the work we’ve been doing to:

  • Support smallholder farmers with access to biochar-based regenerative farming solutions

  • Reduce PM2.5 pollution through the responsible repurposing of agricultural biomass

  • Unlock carbon removal potential within global supply chains, helping companies meet insetting and carbon offset targets

We also shared our vision for sustainable agriculture that improves soil health, boosts crop yields, and drives long-term climate resilience in vulnerable farming communities.

“Pitching in Berlin was a turning point for us. It’s one thing to work behind the scenes, but this event gave us the chance to really share our vision for Happy Ground and show how climate innovation can directly improve lives and livelihoods,” said Moh Suthasiny, co-founder of Happy Ground.

An Eye-Opening Experience in Berlin’s Tech Hub

For us, being in Berlin was eye-opening. Not only did we have the chance to pitch to a global audience, but we also found ourselves at the heart of a thriving startup ecosystem. Berlin is a tech hub, known for its forward-thinking startups, innovation hubs, and investors all working together to drive progress.

Walking through Berlin’s start-up spaces, engaging with like-minded innovators, and having access to cutting-edge resources and mentors gave us fresh perspectives on scaling climate-tech ventures. It was inspiring to see how fast the Berlin startup scene is evolving and how collaborative and supportive the ecosystem is—offering endless opportunities for growth and exchange.

This experience helped us see the larger global movement of climate innovators all working together to transform industries, tackle climate change, and create more resilient systems worldwide.

What’s Next for Happy Ground?

This live pitch is just the beginning for Happy Ground. We are more committed than ever to scaling our impact and expanding our reach—helping more farmers adopt regenerative practices, supporting carbon removal projects, and contributing to the growing field of nature-based solutions.

With carbon credits and insetting initiatives on the horizon, we’re focused on building strong partnerships with corporates, investors, and other climate-tech leaders to make a lasting impact on food security and climate resilience.
