Mitti Labs combines SAR satellite imagery, proprietary field datasets, and AI to create digital twins of individual rice fields that monitor crop conditions, water use, and methane emissions. Since launching its first programs in 2023, the startup grew from working with about 8,000 farmers in its first season to more than 100,000 in the following season and now employs over 150 people. Mitti Labs generates revenue from carbon credits and its GeoAI platform and counts customers such as carbon marketplace Cool Effect, rice producer Ebro Foods, and Syngenta. The company says its programs enable farmers to cut water use by about 40% and reduce methane emissions by more than 50% without affecting yields while creating additional income through carbon credits. With the new funding, Mitti Labs plans to expand into the Philippines later in the year and to Indonesia and other Southeast Asian markets in 2027 to serve compliance carbon markets and broaden its data generation across different ecosystems.

Piq Energy builds an agentic grid planning platform that sits on top of industry engineering tools to connect models, data and workflows and automate complex engineering studies. The company aims to streamline interconnection processes by enabling agents to run studies simultaneously, unlock existing grid capacity, and accelerate adoption of flexible transmission solutions. Piq launched in 2025 after stealth development and reports managing more than 1,000 transmission grid models and completing over 10,000 engineering workflows while supporting customers running dozens of analyses daily. The company was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in San Francisco. Its founders, Tom Nudell, PhD (CEO), and Dionysios Stamatiadis, MSc (Chief Engineer), bring experience from utilities and technology firms including Smart Wires, UK Power Networks, EirGrid, APS, Oncor, Palantir and C3 AI. The recent $5 million seed raise led by Active Impact Investments will fund the next phase of product rollout to utilities and developers and further development of Piq’s grid intelligence layer.

Chloris Geospatial provides science‑based forest carbon insights by combining satellite data, proprietary sensor fusion, and machine learning to measure vegetation and biomass dynamics back to 2000. Its platform delivers high‑integrity, timely data for every acre of forest to support corporate carbon accounting, project developers, and market standards. The company will use the new funding to accelerate product development and expand its commercial and technical teams. Chloris plans to deepen partnerships across the carbon value chain and expand operations with a new European hub to support regional growth. Clients include corporations monitoring forest‑risk supply chains, nature‑based solution developers, and carbon market standard setters. Chloris Geospatial develops forest carbon measurement and monitoring technology that leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to generate forest carbon insights. Its platform tracks biomass dynamics—from deforestation and degradation to tree growth—at scales from field to continental. Customers and stakeholders include governments, companies, civil society organizations, indigenous peoples, and local communities seeking to understand impacts on forest carbon projects and supply chains. The company said it will use the new funding to support continued commercial growth. CEO Marco Albani leads the company, which is based in Boston, MA. Adam Gibbon, Natural Capital Lead at AXA IM Alts, joined Chloris’s board of directors. Chloris Geospatial measures natural capital from space and provides science-based forest carbon insights. Led by CEO Marco Albani, the company builds its product with Earth observation data and machine learning to reliably assess forest carbon dynamics, including forest growth and degradation. Its core offering uses satellite data to estimate forest carbon and track changes over time. The company plans to use the recent funding to advance sensor-fusion technology and equip customers with globally consistent estimates for 2000–2022. Chloris also intends to extend spatial coverage and grow customer support services with the funds.

Terradot develops and deploys enhanced rock weathering (ERW) to remove CO₂ by spreading finely ground rock on agricultural land and building MRV tools and a digital platform to scale the approach. The company has run scaled pilots in Brazil, spreading over 48,000 tons of rock across 1,800 hectares and reporting promising early results on tropical weathering rates. Terradot has sold nearly 300,000 tonnes of CO₂ removal through signed agreements, including a 90,000-tonne, $27M purchase facilitated by Frontier and a separate 200,000-tonne purchase by Google for 2029 and beyond. The startup is partnering with EMBRAPA and Brazilian industry, government, and academic partners to develop scalable ERW frameworks and leverage local agricultural and quarry proximity. It is building MRV capabilities using soil-core measurements, reactive transport models, geostatistics, and watershed-level measurements to enable high-quality, lower-cost quantification at scale. The founding science and operations team is drawn from Stanford and national labs, and the company intends to commercialize ERW at gigaton scale within the decade.
