Cirevo

What Cirevo does

Cirevo Limited is a science-focused software agency founded in 2022 and headquartered in Winchester, United Kingdom, with team meet-ups in the London area. The firm combines environmental science, data science, and senior software engineering to build bespoke digital products for climate-tech startups, circular-economy ventures, NGOs, and mission-driven organisations targeting one-planet food systems. Co-founders Pete Redshaw (chartered geologist-turned-systems modeller with UN/World Bank hazard-modelling experience) and Jon Coello (environmental scientist and software engineer with PhD-level work in carbon accounting and LCA) anchor a 13–15 person multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, a product designer, and a content manager.

Cirevo's underlying technology stack centres on probabilistic modelling, Bayesian inference, process-based earth systems modelling, and Monte Carlo simulation. The firm pairs these methods with public earth-observation datasets (e.g., Google Earth Engine, Sentinel-2), IoT data, and supply-chain emissions data to deliver carbon footprinting, life-cycle assessment, ecosystem modelling, and uncertainty-quantified environmental analytics. A notable technical output is the first open-source Python implementation of the IPCC 2019 steady-state and RothC soil organic carbon models, co-developed with the Cool Farm Alliance and published in the CFA Git repository in early 2024. Generative AI tools (Claude, Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT) are used internally for development velocity rather than as a customer-facing product feature.

The business operates as a professional services agency with two revenue streams: bespoke software engineering and environmental/data science consulting scoped per engagement, and ongoing post-deployment support and maintenance. Pricing is not publicly listed and is negotiated per project. Go-to-market combines direct senior-led sales (discovery calls and custom scoping for organisations and startups) with community-led demand generation through the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the Cool Farm Alliance network, conference participation, podcast appearances, and a regenerative-tech newsletter. Named customers include Cool Farm Alliance, Wiliot, The First Thirty, Trendle, Plan Vivo, and Replacer. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding.

Core offering

Cirevo is a science-focused software agency that helps climate tech and sustainability innovators build digital products from concept through to enterprise-ready deployment. The team combines deep environmental science expertise (carbon footprinting, life cycle assessment, Bayesian inference, ecosystem modelling) with senior software engineering and product design to translate complex sustainability science into production-grade software. Services include custom software development, scientific methodology validation, prototyping, cloud-ready architecture, and ongoing support for NGOs, public bodies, global enterprises, and climate tech startups.

Product overview

Cirevo operates as a science-focused software agency rather than a product company with defined software SKUs. They offer bespoke software development, environmental science consulting, and product design services to help climate tech innovators, circular economy startups, NGOs, and mission-driven organizations develop digital products for sustainable food systems and planet-positive change. Services span from concept validation through production deployment, including scientific review, system architecture planning, prototyping, cloud-ready development, and ongoing support.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and flagship.

• Ellen MacArthur FoundationcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCirevo is a proudly part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation community. The EMF is a charity working to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. This membership signals commitment to circular economy principles and provides community positioning for Cieevo.
• Cool Farm AllianceflagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerCirevo collaborated with the Cool Farm Alliance (CFA) to implement the first open-source Python versions of two cutting-edge soil organic carbon (SOC) models — the IPCC 2019 steady state and RothC models — complete with Monte Carlo simulations. These are available in the CFA Git repository, fostering open collaboration and democratising access to climate-smart tools for agricultural initiatives.
• The First ThirtycoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCirevo partnered with Antony Yousefian's VC firm The First Thirty (TFT) on projects at the intersection of regenerative agriculture and healthcare, including product-level supply chain carbon footprinting using IoT data. TFT invests in companies working at the intersection of farming, food, and human wellness. Jon and Pete previously worked with Antony at Wiliot.

Direct peers

• Persefoni: Climate management and accounting platform for enterprises, financial institutions, and asset managers. Comparable to Cirevo's carbon accounting and management offering; Persefoni is a product company whereas Cirevo builds custom solutions, but both serve the same buyer needs for audit-ready climate data.
• Greenly: Carbon accounting platform aimed at SMBs and mid-market, with adjacent consulting services. Comparable to Cirevo's blend of software and advisory on carbon footprinting, GHG inventories, and supplier engagement, though Greenly is more productized and SMB-focused.
• Sweep: Sustainability management platform that helps businesses map, reduce, and report their carbon footprint. Overlaps with Cirevo's offerings on ESG reporting, supplier engagement, and emissions data infrastructure; operates as a self-serve SaaS while Cirevo delivers bespoke builds.
• Watershed: Climate accounting and sustainability platform that helps enterprises measure and reduce emissions. Directly comparable to Cirevo's work on supply chain carbon footprinting, GHG Protocol/CSRD-aligned reporting, and Scope 3 emissions infrastructure, though Watershed is a productized SaaS platform rather than a services agency.

Broad incumbents

• Metabolic: Sustainability consulting and venture studio working on circular economy, food systems, and climate-tech innovation. Comparable to Cirevo's circular economy and regenerative agriculture focus, with similar mission-driven positioning but a broader consulting and ecosystem-building role.
• EcoAct: International climate consultancy and project developer specializing in carbon offsetting, climate strategy, and GHG reporting. Comparable to Cirevo's work on carbon footprinting, reporting, and supplier engagement, serving similar enterprise and NGO clients at larger scale.
• South Pole: Major climate solutions provider and carbon credit developer offering consulting, advisory, and carbon market services. Comparable to Cirevo's advisory work on carbon accounting, supply chain emissions, and climate strategy, with much larger global footprint and broader offerings.
• Sphera: Enterprise ESG and operational risk software platform covering carbon accounting, supply chain sustainability, and product stewardship. Overlaps with Cirevo's Scope 3, LCA, and supply chain analytics work, but operates at enterprise scale with a much broader product portfolio.
• Carbon Trust: Established global climate consultancy providing carbon footprinting, LCA, strategy, and advisory services. Comparable to Cirevo's carbon accounting and LCA consulting work, but operates at greater scale with much broader service portfolio and longer client history.

Emerging players

• Renoster: Software platform for nature-based carbon project developers to measure, monitor, and verify carbon credits. Comparable niche focus to Cirevo's soil organic carbon and ecosystem modelling work, though Renoster is a productized SaaS in the voluntary carbon market rather than a software agency.
