Pawprint

What Pawprint does

Pawprint (legal entity EcoManta Ltd) is a UK-based B2B SaaS company that operates an employee sustainability platform combining engagement, emissions tracking, education, and supplementary "Extras" modules. The platform applies behavioral science methodology to carbon data, calculating per-user emissions footprints and delivering personalized recommendations intended to drive workforce-level sustainability action. Its core go-to-market is a sales-led enterprise motion targeting corporate workforces, with demo-based conversion through the company website; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, structured around workforce size and module selection.

The company is headquartered in Edinburgh, was founded in 2019 by Christian Arno, and grew to approximately 50 employees prior to entering formal liquidation in February 2026. Enterprise customers named in the data include Royal London (financial services), Vitality (healthcare/insurance), and Nando's (food & hospitality), with the platform reporting over 40,000 employee users, more than 1.5 million completed actions, and over 3.5 million kg of CO2e emissions avoided. The platform also maintains a consumer-facing app for individual carbon footprint tracking.

Following the 2026 liquidation, former Managing Director Emily Hillier acquired the company's assets out of insolvency and assumed the CEO role, allowing the Pawprint app and enterprise customer relationships to continue under new ownership. Cumulative funding across multiple equity crowdfunding rounds on Crowdcube and related platforms from 2019 through 2021 totaled approximately £4.57M (~$4.57M USD-equivalent across four rounds), with 230+ individual investors participating in the November 2021 round that exceeded a £700,000 target. The company holds B Corporation certification granted in November 2021.
