Espoo, Finland 14 March 2023 – CollectiveCrunch, the creator of the AI-powered Linda platform that enables sustainable forestry at scale, today announced the closing of a 1,4M EUR investment round led by existing investor Nidoco AB.
The investment will enable CollectiveCrunch to continue expanding worldwide and developing their portfolio, with a particular interest on the forest carbon market.
„CollectiveCrunch is fundamentally changing how the forestry industry monitors forest health and CO2 capture thanks to its revolutionary platform that uniquely utilizes data and provides near real-time insights into forest biodiversity and forest carbon sink more accurately than ever before,“ said Nidoco CEO Patric Castren. „We“ve already witnessed the significant impact of their technology in the market and look forward to their continued growth.“
„We“re thrilled that our investors trust our team and technology amid these challenging economic times,“ said CollectiveCrunch Co-Founder Rolf Schmitz. „With a business strategy designed for efficient growth – and an expanded solution portfolio that features core products adapted to serve a variety of needs – we“re uniquely positioned to support the digital transformation of the forestry industry.“
Since its inception in 2016, CollectiveCrunch has established a strong position in Europe and an emerging position in the United States and Latin America. CollectiveCrunch was recently approved by Verra, a nonprofit organization that operates standards in environmental and social markets, including the world“s leading carbon crediting program, the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program.
„Verra“s approval is an important milestone for us and we are delighted that we can help build credibility in the forest carbon market through our unique methodologies,“ Schmitz said. „The market needs transparency and our approach with near real-time monitoring and forest asset analysis responds to that specific need.“
