Muir AI, a Seattle, WA-based climate tech startup, raised $3.25m in seed funding.
The round was led by Base10 Partners with participation from existing investors Madrona Venture Labs and Soma Capital.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate development of AI technology to reduce emissions within corporations’ supply chain.
Founded in 2022 by Harris Chalat and Peter Williams, Muir addresses the lack of actionable supply chain emissions data which provides an immediate opportunity to reduce emissions on a gigaton scale. Its novel technology generates accurate and specific emissions data across entire supply chains, even when minimal data is available. Combining supply chain models, geospatial data, and emissions modeling, Carbon Origin, Muir’s initial service, provides comprehensive supply chain emission estimates for a company based on simple procurement data. Granular insights provide customers the ability to identify cost-effective emissions reduction opportunities overlooked by other industry solutions. Muir is servicing companies with complex, high emitting supply chains across the industrial, apparel, retail and consumer goods industries.
Chalat and Williams met while playing football and studying aerospace engineering at MIT and spent their careers at SpaceX and Amazon, developing remote sensing and machine learning technology, before turning their attention to climate change.
