Maya Climate

Maya Climate, a Berlin-based startup, is on the path to fundamentally changing the way companies integrate geospatial data into their decision-making processes. Founded by young entrepreneurs Christian-Hauke Poensgen and Till Tornieporth, Maya Climate aims to unlock and scale the potentials of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS).

The mission of Maya Climate is to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and healthier world by providing innovative technologies for the financing and implementation of NbS. The company leverages the power of nature to remove carbon from the atmosphere and to protect, manage, and restore natural ecosystems.

Maya Climate offers a digital platform that connects project developers with institutional investors and digitizes the project financing process for natural capital projects. This involves efficiently and user-friendly handling of geospatial analyses, risk assessments, and due diligence processes.

• Geospatial Analyses: The company enables the generation of customized geospatial analysis reports in minutes, without the need for manual data analysis, map creation, or reporting. These reports include time series maps, charts, and detailed texts that interpret the analysis[4].
• Project Financing: The platform accelerates project financing for NbS, particularly in the areas of forestry, agricultural land, wetlands, and coastal ecosystems that generate revenue through carbon, biodiversity, or other environmental markets[1][2].

Maya Climate is deeply rooted in the sustainability agenda and is working on several key initiatives:

• Nature-based Solutions: The company focuses on promoting NbS, which are recognized as one of the most efficient and scalable approaches to reducing carbon emissions. Investments in this area are expected to rise to $100 billion per year by 2030[1][2].
• Environmental Impact Assessments: Maya Climate supports asset developers and environmental consultants in creating environmental impact assessments and other environmental reports[4].
• TNFD Alignment and EUDR Compliance: The company assists corporate sustainability teams and environmental consultants in conducting TNFD-aligned site assessments and ensuring EUDR compliance[4].

Maya Climate recently completed a pre-seed funding round of €1.2 million, led by the High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), Antler, the Berlin Angel Fund, and other technology founders and carbon market experts. This funding enables the company to launch its platform and accelerate product development[1][3].

Through its innovative technology and strong support from renowned investors and partners, Maya Climate is well-positioned to promote the transition to a more sustainable future and fully leverage the potentials of Nature-Based Solutions.
