NORWAY-BASED climate tech company Chooose has announced a US$15 million funding round co-led by GenZero and Soundwaves.

Existing investors including Shell Ventures and Vinyl Capital also participated in the round, said Chooose and the two companies that co-led the round on Friday (Jan 13).

GenZero is a decarbonisation-focused investment company wholly owned by Temasek. Soundwaves is a sustainability-focused investment vehicle co-founded by American actor Ashton Kutcher and Israeli-American talent manager Guy Oseary.
