Lemu offers an app that harnesses collective intelligence to encourage users to learn about, explore, and support nature and conservation initiatives. The platform lets users back verifiable conservation programs using a global index called LemuRank, which combines nature-centric and anthropocentric valuations. It also evaluates local conservation efforts via LemuImpact, summarizing evidence for impact from conservation management. Led by founder and CEO Leo Prieto, the company aims to democratize and scale evidence-based conservation through its methodologies and tools. Lemu plans to use new funding to extend and iterate the app, execute its public launch, grow headcount by 50%, and enhance development of impact-verification methodologies, tools, and algorithms. The company has now raised a total of $15M.
