Xilva, a Zurich, Switzerland-based provider of a platform for investments in regenerative forests, raised $1.8M in pre-Seed funding.
Backers included Brainforest, Bloomsbury Natural Capital, and Insurtech.vc.
The company intends to use the funds to further develop technological solutions and scale marketing and operations.
Led by CEO Tim Duehrkoop, Xilva uses a proprietary methodology to assess forest projects and thus reduce potential risks related to investing in carbon credits and nature restoration initiatives. It conducts the due diligence process through its Xilva GRADE platform and provides certified carbon credits for companies as well as investment opportunities for their future needs.
The company has already signed contracts with an Australian real estate group, Goodman, and a Swiss watchmaker, Mondaine, facilitating transactions worth over $1.9 million towards forestry projects in Asia and Latin America and contributing to the compensation of over 152,000 tons of CO2.
