What Scaler does

Scaler Global Inc. is an AI-powered ESG data management platform purpose-built for the institutional real estate industry, founded in 2021 and headquartered in London with operational offices in New York, Amsterdam, and Sydney. The company serves real estate investment managers, asset managers, risk and compliance officers, and property/portfolio managers at institutional real estate organizations — including large PERE firms, REITs, and pension funds — helping them convert fragmented sustainability data into actionable investment-grade intelligence across global portfolios.

The platform consists of integrated modules (Analytics, Collection, Reports, Assurance) alongside the Lumi AI assistant built on Anthropic's Claude within AWS Bedrock's tenant-isolated infrastructure. Capabilities include automated data ingestion via pre-built API integrations with utility providers, smart meters, and building systems (ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, nanoGrid, iqbi, Smartvatten, Rhino); AI-powered gap analysis, anomaly detection, and missing-data estimation; one-click reporting for GRI, GRESB, SFDR, CSRD, and EU Taxonomy; CRREM-aligned decarbonization scenario modeling and stranded-asset identification; and audit-ready data lineage with PCAF-aligned quality scoring. The platform monitors 25,000+ buildings globally, with $1 billion in capital measures planned through the platform and 100 million kg of CO2 saved in 2024, and is certified to ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, ISAE 3000, and GDPR.

Scaler operates a subscription SaaS model with usage-based metering tied to Active Assets, billed annually with CPI-linked escalators and 10% Baseline Volume overage thresholds. The company has raised approximately $13.75 million across two rounds (a 2022 exempt offering and a $10M Series A in July 2024 led by Plural with Base10 participation), serves 30+ named enterprise customers including Jamestown, Patrizia, Kajima, Achmea, Bouwinvest, and Kayne Anderson, and distributes through enterprise field sales, an inside-sales demo conversion flow, and an implementation partner ecosystem (Optiml, Next Sense, Climate X, iqbi, Colliers, ENERGY STAR).

Revenue model

1. SaaS Platform Subscription: Scaler operates on a subscription software model. Fees are based on a Baseline Volume of assets and/or usage volume agreed per Order Form. Within 30 days of each Annual Term, Scaler issues an invoice for the Fees based on the Baseline Volume. If actual usage exceeds the Baseline Volume by more than 10%, Scaler has the right to adjust the Baseline Volume and invoice accordingly. Fees increase annually by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 12-month Consumer Price Index. Payment terms are 14 days after invoice.
2. Usage-Based Metering: Actual usage is determined based on the number of Active Assets per month (highest number in the respective calendar month). For consumption/use-based modules (e.g., Utility Sync or Smart Bill Scrape), calculation is based on actual usage during a given month. Active Asset is defined as an individual building or part of a building with an individual data point in the Platform for which current data is being processed.
3. Third-Party Utility Data Collection Fees: Utility Data Collection performed by third parties (e.g., API connections, bill scraping) may incur costs charged by such third parties, which are borne by the User. Scaler reserves the right to adjust its own prices if third-party pricing changes. The number of APIs with different third parties is capped at 10% of the Baseline Volume.
4. Professional Services: In the event of unreasonable amounts of questions from Users regarding governance, CDD, audit, compliance or similar topics, Scaler is entitled to charge for hours worked at its then-current rates. Transition or post-termination services, including data export assistance, are billable at standard rates.

Direct peers

• Deepki: Deepki is a European-headquartered ESG data intelligence platform for real estate with a strong focus on asset-level energy and carbon data collection, decarbonization planning, and regulatory reporting (including CSRD/SFDR). Highly overlapping product set and customer profile with Scaler in the EU institutional real estate market.
• Measurabl: Measurabl is the most direct competitor to Scaler — a SaaS platform purpose-built for commercial real estate ESG data collection, benchmarking against GRESB, and sustainability reporting. It targets the same institutional investor and asset manager customer base with overlapping GRESB/CSRD/SFDR reporting functionality.
• Greenr: Greenr (formerly Carbon Lighthouse) is a real estate decarbonization platform combining ESG data management with engineering services for commercial buildings, serving institutional owners and operators in the US and select international markets. Overlaps with Scaler on portfolio-level carbon analytics and ESG reporting.

Broad incumbents

• Persefoni: Persefoni is a climate management and accounting platform serving enterprises across financial services, real estate, and other sectors. It competes for the same climate disclosure and Scope 1-3 emissions reporting workloads as Scaler, but with broader industry coverage and substantially larger funding base.
• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise sustainability platform offering carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and climate disclosures across multiple industries including real estate. Significantly better capitalized and broader in scope than Scaler, making it a frequent consolidation candidate for large multi-asset enterprises.
• Workiva: Workiva is a public, well-capitalized ESG and financial reporting platform widely used by large enterprises and asset managers for SEC, GRI, SASB, TCFD, and CSRD reporting. Often selected as the system of record for sustainability disclosures, making it a competitor for Scaler's Reports and SFDR modules.
• Salesforce Net Zero Cloud: Salesforce Net Zero Cloud (formerly Salesforce Sustainability Cloud) is an enterprise sustainability management product within the Salesforce ecosystem covering carbon accounting and ESG reporting. Frequently considered by large enterprises seeking vendor consolidation within existing Salesforce relationships, posing a competitive threat to Scaler's enterprise sales motion.
• IBM Envizi: IBM Envizi is a broad ESG data, accounting, and reporting platform serving large enterprises across multiple industries including real estate. Backed by IBM's enterprise sales motion and consulting arm, it competes for the same institutional ESG reporting and decarbonization workloads as Scaler.
• JLL Technologies / Hank: JLL Technologies (including the Hank AI platform for commercial real estate) and JLL's broader sustainability advisory offering bundle ESG data, decarbonization, and advisory services for institutional real estate owners. Combines consulting scale with technology, representing a significant incumbent competitor for large enterprise customers.

Emerging players

• Climate X: Climate X provides physical climate risk analytics for real estate and infrastructure assets. Although currently a Scaler partner for combined sustainability + climate risk offerings, it represents an emerging adjacent player that could expand into broader ESG data management, partially overlapping Scaler's portfolio analytics capabilities.
