In April, we swiftly and successfully closed our first capital raise following Clever's ongoing relationship with Techstars. We are beyond grateful for the continued support of all our investors. This new flow of capital has allowed us to make important strides forward as we continue to grow the business.
We've benefitted from a groundswell of user activity that keeps our Product team honest by adhering closely to product-market-fit.
We've hired 5 new team members across Sales and Product sides of the business.
Our premium product has undergone a complete restructuring of its databases. Our data volume and quality already had been the most robust and complete out there but it is now the most dynamic and supple in its organizing structure.
Ask us about all our new premium features we're readying for wider release. We're keeping these close to the vest for now; no one else is doing what we are!
Raising the floor, Clever's try-before-you-buy product has set a new industry standard for data available to the public. Access now the largest structured VCM database, freely available to the public. Data should be widely available and commonly agreed upon!

Current Affairs Despite it's quiet release, the Science-Based Targets Initiative's long-awaited reports incited strong reactions across the carbon market. The report outlined that guidance on the use of carbon credits in their Corporate Net-Zero Standard will be studied for another year. That is, their 2024 guidance on the topic is that they won’t issue guidance before 2025.
Contacted by OPIS for comment, the Dow Jones publication reports as follows by Henry Kronk: |
Many businesses have found it difficult to meet the organization's targets. SBTi in March changed the status of 239 companies, including Microsoft, Walmart and Unilever, to "commitment removed.” Air New Zealand on Tuesday was the latest company to announce it would drop its SBTi commitment.
"I absolutely respect a purist and idealistic voice in a conversation,” Clever Offsets CEO Rick Beaumont told OPIS. "But that voice becomes more and more fringe as it becomes more and more impractical. The usefulness of that advice in the position they are clinging to is diminishing."
SBTi's opposition to the use of carbon offsets for value chain emissions mitigation has muzzled demand in the voluntary carbon market but allowing even a portion of Scope 3 reductions with offsets could bring a flood of buyers to the table, sources have told OPIS.
