Yayzy is a U.K. startup that has launched an iOS app (Android coming) which connects to users' bank accounts via Open Banking to calculate the carbon footprint of each purchase. The app assigns carbon emissions to transactions using Vital Metrics data and aggregates totals so users can see a bespoke monthly footprint tied to their spending. Users can offset individual purchases in-app through Ecosphere Plus, subscribe to monthly offsetting, or build a climate portfolio bundling multiple projects aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals. The product also provides tips, local eco-friendly retailer suggestions, and insights into high-impact lifestyle choices. Yayzy has secured £900,000 in backing from Antler Venture Capital, Seedrs (a crowdfunding round) and the CoreAngels Impact Fund. Founders named in the article are CEO Mankaran Ahluwalia, CTO Cristian Dan and CFO Pedro Cabrero, with backgrounds in technology analysis, discounts platforms, and equity sales/trading respectively.
