CarbonChain, a London, UK-based AI-fueled carbon accounting platform using granular data to provide end-to-end visibility into the carbon footprint of a company's supply chain, raised $10 million in Series A funding.
The round was co-led by Union Square Ventures and Voyager Ventures.
The funds will be used to build new carbon accounting and reporting products, expand its customer base in the most carbon-intensive value chains (manufacturing, commodities, and heavy industry), and grow its team to meet increasing demand.
"CarbonChain helps climate-critical sectors take action by filling the data gap for supply chain emissions tracking with accuracy and granularity," said Adam Hearne, CarbonChain CEO, and co-founder. "Our latest investment round kicks off a big year for CarbonChain: we are hiring for 30 new roles, and opening a New York office to better support the North American market. We are excited to expand our customer base and help move the global economy closer to net zero."
CarbonChain provides companies and financial institutions with an accounting of Scope 3 and supply chain emissions and has delivered tremendous value to companies with complex supply chains.
The company's customers include thyssenkrupp Materials Services Eastern Europe, Societe Generale, Rabobank, Concord Resources, IXM, and Gunvor, among others.
