Participated · Series A · Feb 2022
Moss.earth is a global digital asset platform focused on tokenizing carbon credits and building Web3 products for environmental markets. Its core offerings include the MCO2 token (a tokenized carbon credit listed on Coinbase, Gemini and Mercado Bitcoin and available on the Celo network as a Celo reserve), issuance and distribution of Amazon land NFTs, and decentralized digital certification of environmental work. The company reports it has intermediated over US$26 million in carbon-credit purchases in the past 18 months and counts Brazilian corporates (Gol, Hering, Arezzo, iFood) and North American institutions (One River Asset Management, Skybridge) among clients. Moss plans to expand its Web 3.0 applications to make environmental accounting and asset generation cheaper, faster, and more convenient via its blockchain team. Founded in March 2020, Moss positions itself as a leader in digitizing the carbon value chain and reducing friction between asset generation and consumer demand. The company recently closed a US$10 million Series A to accelerate that expansion. Launched in March 2020, Moss selects conservation programs in the Amazon that issue carbon credits, buys large volumes of those credits, and redistributes them at retail. The company adds technology (including blockchain) to certify and trade credits and says it has built a global distribution network. Moss serves both individuals and corporate customers (the article cites C6 Bank as a client) and is developing a B2B2C product called Átomos to sell credits via loyalty and rewards programs. The firm claims to have sent R$55 million to Amazon conservation projects, a figure it compares with the federal government’s R$50 million budget for Amazon conservation. Financially, Moss announced a US$1.8 million investment round at the end of last year and had previously raised US$1.6 million in June 2020. The company plans to use the new funding to push internationalization, marketing, and promotion of a carbon token that it intends to list on crypto exchanges.
