aPriori Technologies
aPriori Technologies is a Concord, Massachusetts software company that turns 3D CAD designs into instant manufacturing cost, manufacturability, and carbon-footprint insights. Founded in 2003 out of University of Illinois research, its cloud Manufacturing Insights Platform - aP Design, aP Pro, and aP Generate - lets engineers, sourcing teams, and cost analysts simulate how a part will be built, what it should cost across regions, and how much CO2e it will emit, before tooling is ever cut. Manufacturers such as GE Aerospace, Carrier, Alstom, Flex, and Whirlpool use it to catch cost and design problems early and negotiate with suppliers from data rather than guesswork.
Greenly
Greenly is a French climate-tech company building carbon-accounting software that helps businesses of all sizes measure, report and reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions. Founded in Paris in 2019, its all-in-one sustainability suite automatically pulls data from financial transactions, utility bills, cloud usage and supply chains to calculate emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, then pairs the data with human climate experts. Greenly serves roughly 3,500 clients across 25 countries and has raised about $78.6 million, including a $52 million Series B led by Fidelity International Strategic Ventures in 2024.
Scaler
Scaler is an ESG data platform built for the real estate industry that turns fragmented sustainability data into audit-ready reports and decarbonization roadmaps. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in New York and Amsterdam, its software helps asset managers, fund managers and compliance teams collect building-level energy, water and carbon data, run CRREM and net-zero analysis, and report against frameworks like GRESB, CSRD, SFDR and the EU Taxonomy - all from a single, traceable source of truth.
CLIP
CLIP is a Brooklyn-based clean mobility company that makes a portable, tool-free device that clips onto a regular bicycle's front fork and turns it into an e-bike in seconds. Founded in 2018 by Som Ray and Clement de Alcala, the friction-drive motor weighs under 10 pounds, fits in a backpack, and provides pedal assistance up to 15 mph - positioning itself as a far cheaper, lighter alternative to buying a full e-bike. The company sells to consumers starting at $499 and is pushing a lower-cost model, BOLT, aimed at bike-share fleets and emerging markets.
DeepVu
DeepVu (legal entity Vufind Inc.) is a San Ramon, California startup building AI planning agents for supply chain teams. Its platform pairs a supply-chain knowledge graph (VuGraph) enriched with macroeconomic and trade signals, a digital-twin simulator (VuSim), and reinforcement-learning decision agents (VuDecide) to make demand planning, inventory, procurement, production and logistics decisions more resilient to shocks - while trimming cost and carbon. Founded in 2016 by Moataz Rashad and Prof. Walid Aref, the company pivoted from computer-vision roots to focus on autonomous, shock-resilient supply chain planning for manufacturers and retailers.
Commons
Commons (formerly Joro) is an Oakland-based climate fintech that turns everyday spending into climate action. Its free mobile app links to users' cards to reveal the carbon footprint behind each purchase, rates brands to cut through greenwashing, and rewards people for buying better and less. Founded by Sanchali Pal, Commons has grown a community of over 450,000 members and raised roughly $14M from investors including Sequoia Capital, Amasia, and Jay-Z's Arrive.
Anneli Tostar
Anneli Tostar is the CEO and co-founder of Tangible, a San Francisco software company that helps real estate developers measure, manage, and cut the embodied carbon locked inside the materials they build with. An Oregon-born, Swedish-heritage urbanist who studied anthropology and environmental policy at Harvard and sustainable urban planning at KTH Stockholm, she spent years inside the commercial real estate sustainability world in the UK and US before deciding the industry's spreadsheet-and-Google-search approach to low-carbon materials needed a real platform. She co-founded Tangible with Nicole Granath in late 2021, raised $8.8M, and is on a mission to make choosing low-carbon materials, in her words, stupidly easy.
Hana Kajimura
Hana Kajimura is the CEO of Trellis Group, the climate media-and-events company behind GreenBiz, Circularity and Trellis Impact. Before running the room, she built it: as Allbirds' first full-time sustainability hire she stamped a carbon footprint on every shoe, open-sourced the methodology so rival brands could copy it, and authored the 'Flight Plan' to halve the company's per-product emissions. A Stanford environmental scientist who chose business over activism because companies 'move much more swiftly,' she now runs the largest gathering of sustainability professionals in North America.
Sanchali Pal
Sanchali Pal is the Founder and CEO of Commons (formerly Joro), an Oakland-based climate action app that connects personal spending data to carbon footprints and rewards users for making sustainable choices. A Princeton and Harvard Business School alumna who spent six years tracking her own carbon footprint in a spreadsheet before building the app to scale that insight for everyone, she has grown Commons to 450,000+ community members, raised $14.7M including a $10M Series A backed by Sequoia Capital and Jay-Z's Arrive, earned a TIME100 Most Influential Companies listing, and is on a mission to prove that climate action and financial wellbeing are the same thing.
