We set out to raise $1.5 million. Investors came back with $1.8 million a clear vote of confidence in a future where climate claims must be proven in real time, not PDF-reported once a year.

“Climate action is no longer about pledges. It’s about proof.” Mat Yarger (Founder & CEO)

Why Now

Every part of the climate economy (voluntary carbon markets, ESG reporting, sustainable finance) is now asking the same thing: “Show me the data.” That demand is only growing louder as governments scale back incentives and the U.S. withdraws from the Paris Agreement. With public funding no longer guaranteed, the 1.5 °C pathway depends on a private sector that can deliver, and prove, real results. 

Projects still trapped in spreadsheets and after-the-fact audits are already losing buyers, investors, and regulators. The winners will be those who can point to live, tamper-proof evidence of their impact.

Why Demia

Demia turns raw environmental data into verified, monetizable assets and fast. Our platform combines:

• Zero-trust architecture rooted in our real-world cybersecurity experience at the highest levels
  
  
• AI-powered automation and RAG-driven data systems for continuous, gap-free Monitoring, Reporting and Verification
  
  
• Blockchain-backed provenance so every credit, certificate, or KPI comes with an unforgeable audit trail

The result: frictionless certification, lower costs, and instant credibility for projects making an impact through nature-based solutions, biogas production, methane avoidance, and industrial decarbonization for low-carbon steel, aluminum, cement, and beyond.

Where We Go Next

The fresh $1.8 million fuels our key immediate priorities:

1. Scale the Proof Layer: Extend the reach of our zero-trust data fabric and federated learning hubs in our focus sectors and asset classes.
2. Accelerate Integrations: Enhance Demia’s integrations with leading registries, exchanges, financial institutions, and corporate ESG stacks to ensure verified data flows without manual lifting.
3. Release our Auditor Frameworks: Finalize our auditor workflows with our auditing partners to cut review times from months to minutes.
4. SPOILER: Launch Brazil Program: More details coming soon… 🌎🌳
