Episode #255: Jasveen Kaur

Jasveen Kaur, Clime DAO — Tokenizing Everyday Climate Action

Jasveen Kaur is the founder of Clime DAO, a Web3-powered platform designed to turn everyday sustainability steps into verifiable, tradable rewards. With 15+ years in software and product management across giants like Bosch and Fidelity, she’s channeling deep tech experience into a practical path for households, employees, and communities to reduce carbon footprints and get rewarded for it.

Clime DAO’s thesis is simple and bold: make climate action easy (Web2 UX), verify it transparently (blockchain + AI/ML), and incentivize it meaningfully (tokens + marketplace). Jasveen’s team positions the product as a “carbon bank as a service”—so organizations can launch pilot programs fast, no crypto wallet required on day one.

Top 5 Takeaways from the Episode:

Start Web2, graduate to Web3: Onboarding is frictionless—users complete actions first; wallets and on-chain elements come later when value is clear.
Work tokens, not pay-to-play: Tokens are earned via real climate actions, then used for DAO participation and carbon-credit monetization.
Action Journeys people can actually do: Launching with Energy and Mobility categories (e.g., LED lighting upgrades, eco-driving, hybrid/EV adoption) with clear dollar savings and token rewards.
Trust through verification: Clime DAO uses proof-of-stake plus AI/ML to validate emissions reductions and create a transparent provenance trail for every token.
Built for scale and efficiency: Runs on Polygon for low fees and a carbon-efficient chain; offered to organizations (employees, customers, residents) as SaaS with flexible, pilot-friendly pricing.
