Why does your solution matter? And why today?
Our solution matters because it addresses the urgent need for businesses to manage their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data effectively in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape. As governments and stakeholders increasingly prioritize sustainability, companies are faced with complex compliance requirements, such as the SFDR and CSRD. Our platform simplifies this process, enabling organizations to not only comply with regulations but also enhance their sustainability practices.
Can you tell me where the idea came from?
When I sold my previous company LeCab in 2016, we did not mention sustainability in the sales deck. Yet we were doing our part socially and for the environment. I think we missed out on some financial value because of it.
The reasons we didn’t think of it: 2016 sustainability wasn’t as big a deal as it is today and we had no tools to track sustainability (unlike the multiple options we have to track financial, marketing or sales data)
Hence we decided to build this missing tech stack brick to help management teams reduce their risks, improve their impact and generate financial value from it. looking at the double regulatory tailwind in Europe (sfdr and csrd) and total lack of tools (excels and consultants) it seemed inevitable.
Can you tell me about some achievements and challenges you’re meeting?
Achievements: reach pmf in a new competitive market, build a multi talented team that is driven by what they do and feel more like a family because of it. Actually using AI to drive efficiency internally and value for clients.
Challenges: technical data challenge is even more complex than we initially thought. Standard start up technical glitches. Competing in a super crowded not so mature market.
What excites you the most about building a company in general and this company in particular?
What excites me most about building a company is the opportunity to create something meaningful that can drive positive change in the world whilst creating value fro companies. Entrepreneurship allows for innovation, collaboration, and the chance to address real-world challenges. The ability to bring a vision to life and impact lives—whether through improved products, services, or community engagement—is incredibly fulfilling. Lastly building a company is always a journey and the freedom it provides is simply a must have to have a sound work life balance.
How do you see the company in 8 to 10 years?
Vision: To be the leading platform that revolutionizes ESG data management, enabling businesses to drive sustainable impact with transparency, efficiency, and accountability.
