Sylvera is the world’s first carbon offset ratings provider. It leverages geospatial data, machine learning and proprietary climate data to create a reliable and transparent assessment of carbon offset projects.
Seedcamp backed the founders of Sylvera because they had a strong conviction that they had what it took to bring a new level of transparency to a market that is expected to grow tremendously over the next few years. Moreover, Seedcamp fundamentally believe that if you can’t measure it or track it, it’s very hard to act on it, so in that spirit they backed Sylvera for the bold vision they have to provide clarity on offset decisions and confidence in choices companies have in pushing for positive climate impact.
