Gazelle Ecosolutions

Climate-tech is building on an underlying layer of legacy remote-sensing software that hasn't changed much in 30 years (ERDAS, SNAP, ENVI, ArcGIS). These tools were designed for making maps, not spectral analysis and AI classification. Nature will play a key role in decarbonization at-large which is why we're excited about building the critical data-layer for natural assets. Nature-based solutions (NBS) can deliver up to 30% of needed mitigations to reach 2030 goals. NBS projects (afforestation, reforestation, regenerative agriculture, conservation, etc) are failing to meet audit requirements (for carbon registries) losing credit issuance and causing repetitional harm to buyers (O&G, blue chip comps, etc) due to a lack of transparency. Opaqueness in carbon markets, which globally represent a $978B industry across 30 jurisdictions, is caused by complex methodologies, audit requirements, and supply-side shortcomings. Gazelle is building a next-generation platform streamlining end-to-end MRV for NBS across the carbon supply chain enabling companies, traders, auditors, etc to confidently invest in and monitor natural assets.
