🤔 who are we?

The co-founders Luc and Martin met during an entrepreneurship program called Antler in Paris. Their complimentary backgrounds and impact-driven entrepreneurial spirit were a perfect match to work together. We are also supported by Greta, our Lead Ecologist, who heads science initiatives. Meet the team here!

🗺️ where are we & where are we going?

We have validated our go-to-market and have our first customers, showing early product-market fit. We have achieved this through rigorous research in ecology and remote sensing, and the development of a strategic science advisory board.

To accelerate, we’ve raised our first round of funding. Our next goal is to strengthen our product and sales funnel to onboard more clients and establish ourselves as a key player in our initial market segment.
