Chloris Geospatial, a climate-tech company pioneering satellite-based measurement of forest carbon and ecosystem change, announced it has raised $8.5 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Future Energy Ventures, with participation from existing investors AXA IM Alts, At One Ventures, Cisco Foundation, Counteract, and Orbia Ventures.
With this new funding, Chloris will accelerate product development, grow its commercial and technical teams, and deepen partnerships across corporate carbon accounting for forest risk commodities and the carbon value chain, meeting the market’s rising demand for verifiable, high-quality nature-based solutions. The company will also expand its operations with a new European hub to support regional growth and customer engagement.
The investment comes at a pivotal time for the climate and nature agenda, when trust, transparency, and scalable solutions are more urgent than ever.

While the climate and nature crises are global issues, action is taken locally, by governments, project developers, investors, and supply chain actors working across diverse landscapes and regions. Aligning local actions with global ambition demands fit-for-purpose solutions that are both scientifically rigorous and operationally scalable at every level.
Chloris’ technology responds directly to this need, enabling better decisions through transparent, science-based insights.
Developed under the guidance of Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer Dr. Alessandro Baccini, the Chloris technology uses satellite data, proprietary sensor fusion and machine learning to measure vegetation, going far beyond traditional land cover mapping. Chloris is uniquely positioned to provide high-quality, affordable, and timely data on what has happened in every acre of forest around the world since the year 2000.
“This is a decisive moment,” said Marco Albani, CEO and Co-Founder of Chloris. “To protect and restore nature at the pace and scale the climate demands, we need tools that make it easy to act—with confidence. That’s what Chloris enables, and this investment allows us to take it to the next level. We’re thrilled by the support of Future Energy Ventures and honored by the continued belief in our mission from all of our investors.”
