What RyeStrategy does

RyeStrategy is a Seattle-based environmental consultancy and carbon accounting software provider founded in 2019 by Cooper Wechkin. The company serves small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), with a particular focus on SMB suppliers to large enterprises such as Microsoft, Salesforce, Walmart, and Target that are required to report Scope 3 emissions and meet climate disclosure mandates. Its core offering is a UL-verified GHG Calculator (independently verified by UL Solutions at limited level of assurance per ISO 14064-3) combined with a structured 5-Level Emissions Reduction Program (Action, Report, Commit, Reduce, Net Zero), CDP-accredited carbon accounting methodology, and a service menu covering EcoVadis consulting, SBTi target setting and validation, CDP disclosure support, and supply chain decarbonization accelerators.

The technology platform is a 'software + services' model in which a carbon accounting platform — aligned with GHG Protocol Corporate and Value Chain Standards — is paired with human sustainability specialists who complete the heavy data-collection, footprinting, and submission work for clients. Supporting infrastructure includes a step-by-step mitigation library, EcoVadis readiness templates, and validated climate action badges awarded at each program level. The company holds CDP Accredited Solution Provider status and earned an EcoVadis Silver Medal (2025), upgrading from Bronze (2024). It is an LLC domiciled in Washington, USA, has an 11-50 employee headcount, and is privately held with no disclosed institutional venture or growth rounds beyond early seed funding in 2019.

RyeStrategy generates revenue through professional services engagements and recurring subscription software packages, typically sold as multi-year decarbonization contracts following a complimentary 45-minute strategy session. Go-to-market combines consultative sales with sustainability managers, direct enterprise field sales to procurement teams at Microsoft, Salesforce, Walmart, and Target for supplier decarbonization programs, and a community-led referral channel that pays $200 per successful referral. Customer base spans hundreds of SMB suppliers and named accounts including Salesforce, IdeaScale, Visions Management, VCNY Home, RedCloud Consulting, Wazoku, Karbon, Centaur AI, and Allied Printing.

• Coolset: Coolset is a carbon accounting and ESG reporting platform serving SMBs and mid-market companies in Europe. It is directly comparable to RyeStrategy on product functionality and customer size, with a regional focus that complements rather than overlaps geographically.
• Emitwise: Emitwise is a carbon accounting and emissions reduction platform focused on Scope 3 and supply chain decarbonization. It overlaps directly with RyeStrategy's supplier decarbonization and GHG inventory offerings.
• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise carbon accounting and climate platform. It directly competes with RyeStrategy in carbon accounting software for sustainability reporting, though Watershed skews toward larger enterprises and is much more heavily capitalized.
• Persefon (Sweep): Persefon (formerly Sweep) is a carbon accounting and emissions management platform serving mid-market and enterprise customers. It overlaps with RyeStrategy's carbon accounting, Scope 3 and supplier engagement capabilities, with a more SaaS-led model.
