UK-based climate tech startup Revalue Nature has raised 拢8m ($10m) in a Series A funding round.
The investment was co-led by Ecosystem Integrity Fund (EIF) and SJF Ventures, two leading venture firms focused on climate and impact.
Headquartered in London, Revalue Nature develops nature-based carbon projects that protect against deforestation 鈥� in addition to enhancing biodiversity and driving local community economic development.
One of most exciting features about Revalue Nature鈥檚 technology is its ability to help address climate change at scale.
The company鈥檚 projects currently spanning more than eight countries and three continents.
SJF Ventures鈥� investment in Revalue Nature is the culmination of a year-long evaluation of nature-based solutions.
A spokesman for the investor said: 鈥淲e came away with conviction that Revalue Nature has the ingredients to drive a step-change in project integrity.
鈥淭his can be seen in the company鈥檚 culture of analytical rigor, the demonstrated values of team members, the alignment between business objectives and project integrity, the emphasis on enduring partnerships, and market validation by participants along the industry鈥檚 value chain.鈥�
Stuart Rowland, CEO and founder of Revalue Nature, said: 鈥淩evalue exists to deliver a fundamental step-change in integrity at scale.
鈥淲e are rethinking carbon projects from the ground up. We believe this fundamental step-change in the quality of carbon projects is required to build confidence in the market.
