Revenue model

1. Carbon Project Development Services: End-to-end carbon project development services including scoping, feasibility assessment, project documentation, validation, registration, monitoring, and technical support. Revenue generated through development fees for reforestation (ARR), REDD+, improved forest management (IFM), and insetting projects.
2. Project Financing Facilitation: Connecting land stewards and project developers with a network of banks, commodity traders, family offices, and corporate buyers to secure operating capital. Earns fees or commissions from facilitating financing transactions.
3. Carbon Credit Offtake Agreements: Long-term offtake agreements with corporate buyers to lock in future credit pricing. Companies sign agreements to secure guaranteed rates for carbon project credits, protecting against market fluctuations.
4. Investment in Nature Portfolio: Exclusive investment opportunities in global portfolio of projects ranging from early-stage co-design with experienced operators to turnkey investments in registered and operating projects.

Core offering

Earthshot Labs is a nature-based carbon project development and financing platform that combines proprietary AI/ML software (LandOS, Biome, ForestLoop, SimEarth, TerraVista) with end-to-end professional services to help land stewards develop, validate, register, and finance reforestation, REDD+, agroforestry, and improved forest management carbon projects. The company also connects projects with corporate offtakers and investors through long-term offtake agreements and portfolio investment opportunities across 25+ countries.

Product overview

Earthshot Labs operates as a nature-based carbon project development and financing platform, offering both technology products and professional services. The core technology stack includes five proprietary tools: LandOS (project diligence platform), Biome (AI-powered field inventory app), ForestLoop (ML-based landscape analysis), SimEarth (science workflow center), and TerraVista (scoping tools). These tools are complemented by professional services for carbon project development (spanning scoping to credit issuance) and nature investment services (project portfolio access and offtake agreements). The company has developed over 50 client projects globally, enabling $65M+ in project finance across 1 million+ hectares.

Products and services

• LandOS Comprehensive project diligence platform producing multi-layered, data-rich maps that reveal intricate details of project areas and factors driving ecological changes. It enables testing, comprehension, and design of nature-based carbon projects that accurately reflect on-the-ground realities. Used internally and with project developer partners to characterize landscapes for carbon project development.
• Biome AI-powered field app for rapid, accurate forest inventory that replaces traditional tape measures and clipboards with a phone-based workflow. Measures DBH and tree height in seconds even in dense canopy or rough terrain, structuring audit-ready field data 5-10x faster than traditional methods, aligned with leading carbon and forestry standards.
• ForestLoop Human-in-the-loop machine learning system enabling swift and accurate analysis of project landscapes. Cuts assessment time from weeks to hours by evaluating forest stability, deforestation rates, rapidly assessing land eligibility, and guiding selection of intervention locations.
• SimEarth Advanced science workflow center that revolutionizes project technical diligence, allowing in-depth landscape assessments in days rather than months. Enables highly localized inferences and precise assessments quickly and robustly using advanced ecological models.
• TerraVista Rapid scoping tool for identifying project potential in minutes rather than months. Helps rapidly identify land for new development or downselect projects for deeper investment diligence.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Pachama: AI-driven nature-based carbon credit marketplace and project developer. Highly comparable to Earthshot: combines remote sensing/ML for MRV with project sourcing, financing, and corporate offtake — directly competing for the same enterprise buyers and project pipeline.
• Sylvera: Independent carbon credit ratings and MRV analytics firm using satellite and ML to assess nature-based project quality. Overlaps with Earthshot's ForestLoop/SimEarth tooling and competes for the same integrity-conscious corporate buyers.
• NCX (Natural Capital Exchange): Forest-carbon platform connecting landowners, project developers, and corporate buyers via measurement, MRV, and offtake tools. Comparable technology-and-marketplace model targeting nature-based credits, including improved forest management projects.

Broad incumbents

• South Pole Group: Large established carbon project developer and climate consultancy with deep nature-based and tech-based portfolios. Competes head-to-head on ARR/REDD+/IFM project development and corporate offtake; broader services portfolio (advisory, technology) makes it a wide-incumbent peer.
• Verra: Operator of the VCS carbon standard under which most of Earthshot's projects are registered. Not a direct competitor but a critical counterparty — Earthshot's ARR methodology and program leadership came from Verra alumni, and standards changes directly affect Earthshot's pipeline.

Emerging players

• Renoster: Early-stage remote-sensing and analytics company providing independent MRV for nature-based carbon projects. Direct technology overlap with Earthshot's ForestLoop and SimEarth capabilities; smaller and more focused on verification rather than full-stack development.
• Patch: Carbon credit API and marketplace enabling enterprise integration of offsets (including nature-based). Adjacent technology and GTM overlap with Earthshot's corporate offtake motion, though Patch is distribution-focused rather than project-developer.
• Cloverly: Carbon-credit API platform with focus on high-quality offsets and embedded carbon for enterprises. Competes with Earthshot on the corporate offtake side and bundles MRV/data, similar to Earthshot's platform thesis.
• Treeconomy: UK-based forest carbon MRV platform using remote sensing and ML. Closely comparable technology stack to Earthshot's ForestLoop and Biome; smaller, narrower project base but similar buyer segment.

Others

• Plan Vivo Foundation: Not-for-profit carbon standard and project developer specializing in community-led nature-based projects. Earthshot team members sit on its Technical Advisory Committee; Plan Vivo is more standards/community-development than commercial competitor but ecosystem-critical.
