What EcoMatcher does
EcoMatcher is a Hong Kong-headquartered B2B technology company that operates a blockchain-backed tree planting and tracking platform under the TreeTech brand. Founded in 2016 and a Certified B Corporation since February 2018 (score 105.8), the company partners with 15+ vetted NGOs across Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East to plant trees and forests, capturing per-tree data — including farmer identity, GPS coordinates, species, and CO2 sequestration — via its proprietary TreeCorder field app. The platform surface includes TreeManager for gifting and campaign management, TreeTracker 3D and ForestTracker 3D for immersive visualization, TreeChain for immutable blockchain records, and native apps for iOS, Android, and Microsoft Teams (Microsoft 365 certified), with API and Zapier integration for embedding tree planting into third-party workflows.
The company monetizes through five primary streams: one-time individual tree purchases (US$3.79-$4.29 per tree, 10-tree minimum), tiered ACES monthly subscriptions ranging from US$3.99 to US$339.90 (1-100 trees/month), enterprise forest purchases at scale (e.g., 1,000-tree forests from US$3,390), corporate rewards and loyalty program integrations, and TREES+ certified carbon credits for projects of 25,000+ trees. Distribution is product-led and self-serve through TreeShop and ForestShop, supplemented by a channel partner program and select enterprise deals such as Dialog Axiata in Sri Lanka and OVO in the U.S. Compliance posture includes the NIST Cyber Security Framework, PCI-DSS payment processing, and GDPR; total disclosed external funding to date is $50,000 from Block.one's EOS VC Fund (May 2020), indicating a largely bootstrapped operating model supported by 11-50 employees across Hong Kong, Bandung (Indonesia, engineering/R&D), and Dubai (Middle East).

EcoMatcher competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Tree-Nation: Tree-Nation is one of the largest corporate tree-planting platforms, allowing businesses and individuals to plant and track trees across global reforestation projects. It is the closest direct competitor to EcoMatcher given the shared B2B gifting + tree-tracking business model and overlapping use cases (corporate gifting, sustainability, loyalty).
- Pachama: Pachama is a technology-led carbon credit marketplace that uses satellite imagery and ML-based MRV to verify forest carbon projects. It is directly comparable to EcoMatcher in the B2B carbon-offset segment and represents the technology-forward competitor EcoMatcher would face for corporate sustainability buyers.
- Wren: Wren is a subscription-based carbon offsetting service for individuals and businesses, providing monthly subscription tiers and project portfolios. It overlaps EcoMatcher's ACES subscription model and B2B sustainability use case, making it a comparable subscription offset player.
Broad incumbents
- One Tree Planted: One Tree Planted is a large-scale reforestation nonprofit that partners with corporate sponsors to fund planting projects worldwide. It is comparable in the 'corporate tree planting' use case but operates as a non-profit without EcoMatcher's 3D-tracking and blockchain-MRV technology layer.
- South Pole: South Pole is a large carbon project developer and sustainability solutions provider offering carbon offsets and advisory services to enterprises. It is comparable as a broader end-to-end carbon solutions incumbent competing for the same corporate sustainability budget that EcoMatcher pursues with tree-based offsets.
- Verra: Verra operates the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), one of the world's largest carbon credit registries and standard-setters. It is relevant because EcoMatcher's TREES+ product operates in the same voluntary carbon credit infrastructure layer and competes for institutional carbon-credit buyer credibility.
- Gold Standard: Gold Standard is a leading carbon credit certification standard for project developers and buyers. It is comparable to EcoMatcher's TREES+ carbon credit offering, as both compete for corporate buyers seeking high-integrity nature-based credits with third-party verification.
- myclimate: myclimate is a major non-profit climate action organization offering corporate carbon offsetting, employee engagement, and sustainability program management. It is comparable as an enterprise-facing sustainability platform serving corporate CSR and employee engagement needs similar to EcoMatcher's B2B use cases.
Emerging players
- Sylvera: Sylvera is an independent carbon credit ratings provider that uses satellite data and ML to assess the integrity of forest carbon projects. It overlaps EcoMatcher's MRV/third-party-verification value proposition and targets the same enterprise sustainability buyers.
- Terraformation: Terraformation is a technology-driven reforestation company developing high-quality carbon offset projects. It overlaps EcoMatcher in the technology-enabled nature-based carbon project development segment and targets the same corporate carbon offset buyers.
