Pathways
Pathways is a New York climate-tech startup building an AI platform that automates life cycle assessments (LCAs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for building-material manufacturers, starting with ready-mix concrete producers. By ingesting data from a manufacturer's existing systems - raw material inputs, transportation, and plant processes - Pathways turns a process that traditionally takes 6-12 months of consultant work into one that delivers third-party-verified EPDs in weeks, then keeps the models live so producers can spot emissions hotspots and cut the carbon footprint of their products.
Tangible
Tangible is a San Francisco climate-tech company that turns static construction drawings and 3D models into live materials data. Its AI-powered platform reads Revit models and PDF drawings to give preconstruction teams structured quantities, cost, and EPD-backed embodied carbon in one place - so developers, contractors, and architects can see the carbon and cost impact of a design and cut both before a building is ever poured. Founded in 2021 by Anneli Tostar and Nicole Granath, Tangible has raised roughly $8.8M and counts builders like Skanska, Prologis, and Hensel Phelps among its users.
