The company is a subsidiary of Conservice, a utility-billing and sustainability data provider headquartered in River Heights, Utah, and the platform is marketed externally under the Conservice ESG brand.

The platform targets enterprise organizations and sustainability professionals (ESG program managers, sustainability officers) through a consultative field-sales motion ('Let's Connect'), supported by a content engine including The ESG Experience Podcast and ESG resource guides. Goby is not publicly listed, has approximately 51–100 employees, and has raised approximately $5.5M in disclosed equity funding since 2014 across rounds led by GreenSoil Investments, Second Century Ventures, REACH, Riverside Acceleration Capital, and Greensoil PropTech Ventures.
