From concept to credibility—fast-tracking Carbon to Stone’s market debut.
Carbon to Stone came to us in a situation we see often—and the very reason our business exists. With investor meetings looming, a major conference just weeks away, and a need to test the market and attract early customers, the pressure was on. The challenge? They only had ideas on paper and a CAD model. With little marketing behind them, they needed to look like a company worth investing in—fast.
From Stats to Story: How Carbon to Stone Won Attention
We partnered closely with Carbon to Stone to develop a 3D animation that clearly showcased what they offer, who it serves, and why it matters. The result addressed their biggest challenges: standing out to investors and customers, signaling credibility, and differentiating themselves from the competition. High-end 3D doesn’t just look impressive—it communicates seriousness, builds trust, and turns complex ideas into stories people remember. For Carbon to Stone, the animation became a core element of their investor pitch. Without it, they would have been limited to statistics alone—powerful, but not compelling. By bringing their vision for CO₂ capture to life, the video helped them present as a credible team tackling a massive problem. Beyond fundraising, they also used the animation at a convention booth later that month, where it drew attention, sparked conversations, and helped them gauge real market interest.
$10K investment, into Carbon to Stone’s first partner and millions in revenue.
While the animation didn’t immediately secure funding during their Techstars investor meeting, its true value showed at a major industry conference. Out of thousands who discovered Carbon to Stone there, four companies approached them to discuss implementation at their plants. One of those conversations turned into a closed deal—securing their first partner and generating multiple millions in value. From a $10,000 upfront investment to millions in return—that’s ROI.
Next projects.
