Bioflore

What Bioflore does

Bioflore is a Brazilian environmental monitoring company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The company combines LiDAR remote sensing, custom AI models, and geospatial analysis to deliver precision carbon measurement, biodiversity mapping, and forest restoration monitoring for enterprise and institutional clients. Its core technical stack processes 3D point clouds from LiDAR sensors alongside high-resolution imagery through proprietary AI models that quantify biomass, estimate carbon stocks, and identify tree species at scale. The Floreviewer platform provides an interactive SaaS layer for biodiversity and carbon tracking with auditable dashboards and transparent methodology.

The company generates revenue through a hybrid model of professional services (carbon measurement, biodiversity mapping, custom software development) and recurring SaaS subscription (Floreviewer platform). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Bioflore's go-to-market is enterprise-focused direct sales, targeting sectors including agriculture, carbon markets, energy, mining, pulp and paper, environmental licensing, and forest restoration. Visible customers include IPÊ (Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas, NGO), LandPrint (environmental asset classification), AngloGold Ashanti (mining major, 140+ hectare Atlantic Forest conservation area), and VerdeNovo (ecological restoration startup). The company also maintains research and strategic relationships with WWF Brasil, Embrapa Florestas, and The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS).

The team is led by four co-founders: CEO Heitor Filpi (forest engineer with Lincoln University specialization), CTO Guttardo Pereira (computer scientist from UFV), Technical Director Danilo R. A. Almeida (postdoctoral researcher from UF, Bangor University, ESALQ-USP), and CMO Bruno Nani, supported by PhD-level research collaborators. Notable recognition includes the Climate Launchpad 2021 national win, Climate Ventures' Conexões Onda Verde recognition in 2022, and selection as a competitor in the 2024 XPrize Rainforest competition. Bioflore operates with 11-50 employees and is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds.

Direct peers

• Veritree: Veritree provides monitoring, reporting, and verification technology for reforestation and blue carbon projects using satellites and field data. Directly comparable to Bioflore's forest restoration monitoring and carbon MRV services.
• Pachama: Pachama combines satellite remote sensing and field data to measure and verify forest carbon projects and connects them to carbon credit buyers. Overlaps directly with Bioflore's carbon MRV plus restoration monitoring stack.
• Sylvera: Sylvera provides independent ratings, MRV, and remote-sensing-based carbon analytics for forest carbon projects. Directly comparable to Bioflore's LiDAR + AI carbon measurement offering and target buyer base of carbon project developers.
• NCX (Natural Capital Exchange): NCX operates a marketplace and MRV platform for forest carbon generated by small landowners in North America. Comparable in using remote sensing plus measurement science to quantify forest carbon at scale, although focused on a different region than Bioflore.
• Restor: Restor is a transparency platform for the restoration movement, combining geospatial monitoring with project-level biodiversity and carbon disclosure. Highly comparable to Floreviewer's biodiversity and restoration tracking functionality.
• Upstream Tech: Upstream Tech uses remote sensing, AI, and field data to measure environmental outcomes in forests and watersheds. Comparable technology stack and buyer profile to Bioflore, with overlap in forest monitoring engagements.
• SilviaTerra: SilviaTerra applies LiDAR, satellite imagery, and machine learning to forest inventory and carbon quantification for timber and carbon markets. Closely comparable in using LiDAR + AI for biomass and carbon measurement of forests.

Broad incumbents

• South Pole: South Pole is a large climate consultancy that develops, finances, and measures carbon projects. Bioflore competes for parts of the same nature-based carbon MRV scope from a more focused, technology-first position.
• Planet Labs: Planet Labs operates a high-cadence Earth-imaging satellite constellation and analytics used for environmental monitoring. Bioflore is a downstream customer of similar Earth observation data and an emerging analytics competitor in carbon and forestry monitoring.

Regional players

• MapBiomas: MapBiomas is a Brazilian multi-institution initiative producing annual land cover and land use maps of Brazil using satellite data. Highly relevant peer for Brazilian-scale environmental monitoring, although it is a public-good platform rather than a commercial MRV provider.
