What does it do? A spin-out from the University of Edinburgh, Earth Blox runs a cloud platform that combines satellite imagery with analytics to map nature-related and climate risks across millions of hectares. Banks and corporates use it to track deforestation, land-use change, biodiversity impacts, and extreme-weather exposure across supply chains and financed assets.
Why now? Banks and businesses face growing pressure from regulators and disclosure regimes to quantify nature-related risk. The platform supports reporting under frameworks including CSRD, TNFD, and TCFD.
What's the endgame? The £6 million ranks among the larger early-stage rounds in the sector, sitting in roughly the top 30% by amount. The company will use it to grow its team, accelerate product development, and integrate more environmental and financial data sources.
