Sphera
Sphera sells the software behind decisions most people never see: whether a factory job is safe, a chemical is compliant, a supplier is fragile, or a product's carbon claim can survive an audit. Its bet is that those answers become more useful when they live in one system.
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.
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.
