What we do

Making the transition to a sustainable world will be the defining challenge of the next decade, requiring a paradigm shift across every industry.

Our mission is to leverage the scale of AI to help companies navigate their sustainability strategy and accelerate the transition to a sustainable world.

Our first product will help sustainability teams find, understand, and take informed action on the complex environmental and climate regulations emerging across Europe. By collecting and organising the unstructured regulatory and standards data emerging across Europe’s mosaic of languages and jurisdictions, we are building the world’s first automatically updating, machine-readable regulations database for sustainability. The tool will use this vast array of primary and secondary source data alongside natural language processing (NLP) to power our analytics engine, helping businesses of all sizes get on top of the rapidly emerging regulatory compliance requirements in this space, as well as finding the increasing number of green incentives available to them.

Based out of the Berlin AI Campus and financially backed by Merantix AG, we have access to a network of more than 90 engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs from leading companies and universities. You will be joining an experienced founding team with backgrounds in data science and machine learning as well as previous venture experience in the LegalTech and NLP space.
