Global nature intelligence company, NatureMetrics has raised $25 million in Series B funding. The company said it will use the money to enhance its platform including expanding its data, AI and digital capabilities as well as global reach.
NatureMetrics’ platform gives organizations a suite of tools to measure, analyze and understand the health of an ecosystem to inform decisions and reporting. The company said it can use a single water sample to identify trace environmental DNA (eDNA) that reveals the existence of various species in an ecosystem. It translates that information into biodiversity maps and other solutions to help businesses and conservation organizations manage risk, inform decision-making and track conservation change over time.
The technology addresses the global effort to catalog and protect biodiversity that is crucial to environmental health. The World Economic Forum lists biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse as the second most significant global risk over the next decade. More than half of global GDP is dependent on nature and healthy ecosystems.
“Addressing nature-related risks isn’t just about compliance—it’s about future-proofing business operations and making meaningful contributions to a sustainable future,” said Dimple Patel, CEO of NatureMetrics. “This investment will allow us to rapidly accelerate our solution—enabling businesses to understand nature across their supply chains and make informed operational and financial decisions.”
The funding round was led by Just Climate, alongside EDF Pulse Ventures and the Monaco ReOcean Fund, with participation from existing investors 2150, BNP Paribas, Ananda Impact Ventures and SWEN Blue Ocean.
It was ReOcean’s first investment.
“NatureMetrics is revolutionising biodiversity data, by turning insights into actionable strategies that align economic growth with environmental and ocean resilience,” said Olivier Wenden, VP & CEO of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation for the ReOcean Fund. “This innovation drives value creation while setting a new benchmark for embedding ocean health into business decisions – a natural fit for the ReOcean Fund’s mission to transform the blue economy.”
