Company Overview

Gaia AI is building the Bloomberg terminal for forestry. More specifically, their platform consists of two core product lines: high-quality carbon credits (generated from proprietary data collection methodologies) and forestry inventory management software. With an AI-based data platform that produces higher-fidelity datasets than competitors and a founding team with unique hardware/software expertise, Gaia AI plans to unlock the largest supply of natural-based carbon credits.

Thesis Fit

Gaia AI is an enterprise geospatial application that heavily uses GIS and remote sensing in their core business to transform the timber inventory management market. Very few carbon projects have issued credits using satellite-based carbon maps due to accuracy issues and LiDAR-derived forest inventories have also remained uncommon at a large scale due to varying parameters among LiDAR data acquisitions and the availability of sufficient calibration data. Gaia’s unique approach to collect and fuse both of these data enable them to provide the richest forest carbon data at scale.
