Boundless Impact Research & Analytics

What Boundless Impact Research & Analytics does

Boundless Impact Research & Analytics is a New York-based market intelligence and impact analytics firm that delivers ISO-compliant Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) to investors, companies, and funds. Its core offering, the LifeCycle IQ SaaS platform, benchmarks products against a proprietary database of 400+ industry baselines across energy intensity, toxicity, supply chain impact, cost performance, and GHG footprint, and supports modeling of up to five products per dashboard. Every assessment is independently reviewed by vetted external experts and overseen by a Scientific Advisory Council, positioning outputs as decision-grade and regulator-acceptable for use in investor diligence, customer communication, and ESG disclosure.

The company operates a platform-plus-services model. Recurring revenue comes from LifeCycle IQ subscriptions (monthly or annual, billed in advance with auto-renewal and semi-annual data refreshes), supplemented by professional services for custom LCA reports, Scope 1/2/3 inventories, GHG footprint projections, carbon management and accounting, and portfolio analysis for investors. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; subscriptions are non-refundable once paid. Go-to-market is sales-led, anchored by CEO Michele Demers' thought leadership across BloombergNEF, Forbes, Newsweek, Axios, and cleantech podcasts, and reinforced by three named strategic partnerships: the Solar Impulse Foundation (2020) for cleantech vetting, IFG Asset Management (2022) for bioeconomy diligence, and Prithvi Ventures (2023), which requires a Boundless LCA as a condition of investment in every portfolio startup.

Boundless is structured as a Public Benefit Corporation, with a headcount of 1–10 and only $100,000 of disclosed external funding (Meliorate Partners, 2023). The company serves roughly 60+ clients globally, predominantly early-stage cleantech and sustainable-product startups across energy, transportation, food and agriculture, advanced materials, circular economy, and water.
