Renoster
Renoster is an Austin-based climate technology company that brought scientific rigor and radical transparency to the carbon markets. It began as an independent ratings agency - using LiDAR, satellite imagery, and AI to publicly review more than 200 nature-based carbon projects and over 500 million credits through its Mercury platform. Convinced that most existing credits fell short, the company pivoted from grading the market to fixing it, launching Apollo, an improved forest management program that helps small landowners in Maine store more carbon and generate high-integrity forest carbon credits.
NCX
NCX (Natural Capital Exchange) is a U.S.-based data-driven marketplace that pays forest landowners of all sizes for the natural capital their land provides - starting with forest carbon. Born out of the forestry analytics company SilviaTerra, NCX uses satellites, cloud computing, and machine learning to measure every acre of America's forests, then connects landowners who defer timber harvests with corporations seeking high-quality carbon credits. The company has enrolled thousands of landowners across dozens of states and raised $74.4M to expand natural capital markets.
