What XAIN TECH does

XAIN TECH (operating commercially as Xain) is a Madrid-based private technology startup founded in 2024 that builds AI-powered CO2 measurement and certification tools. The company's core product is an instant CO2 calculator that applies computer vision to user-uploaded plans, photos, and technical manuals (PDF or JPG, up to 9 MB) to generate real CO2 emission data within minutes, with each calculation certified under the ISO 14067 standard. The company serves six industry verticals — textile (primary), banking, industrial, retail, public administration, and hospitality — with a particular focus on textile sustainability through a flagship strategic partnership with Nextil Group announced in January 2025. The founding team comprises Manuel Nava and Gonzalo Saura as co-founders alongside Santiago Santos as co-founder and CTO.

The business model combines three monetization layers: a freemium self-serve calculator delivering free instant results without registration, a €490 per-calculation ISO 14067 verifiable certificate tier, and custom-priced enterprise Scope 3 / CSRD supply chain analysis services accessed via direct email contact. Distribution is primarily digital, led by the xaineco.com website with a LinkedIn corporate presence and earned media coverage in La Razón, La Vanguardia, Libertad Digital, and Comunidad de Madrid outlets. The go-to-market motion is product-led growth, with the free calculator functioning as a top-of-funnel acquisition tool targeting individuals, SMEs, and enterprises, converting to paid certificates or enterprise contracts for deeper Scope 3 / CSRD engagements.

The company received a $257,563 funding round from Armatura Capital S.L. in January 2025 — the only disclosed external financing to date — and operates with 1-10 employees. The offering is positioned to benefit from EU CSRD legislation, which mandates Scope 3 carbon footprint reporting with phased deadlines from 2025 (listed companies >500 employees) through 2027 (SMEs), with large companies obligated to report supplier emissions from 2026 onward. Current operational geography is Spain-focused, though the launch of an English-language website version signals intent to address the broader EU CSRD-mandated market.
