Zevero, a carbon accounting platform, has secured a US$7 million inaugural seed funding round. The investment was led by Spiral Capital, with participation from East Ventures and several angel investors.
The funding will accelerate Zevero’s growth in key markets like Japan, the U.S., Australia, and the Asia-Pacific. It will also allow the platform to keep up with the rising global demand for complete sustainability solutions, with a focus on improving its decarbonization features.

This funding allows us to expand our capabilities and continue delivering the innovative tools that businesses need to meet their regulatory and commercial obligations. The team is excited to lead the industry in providing accurate, scalable and actionable insights for carbon accounting.”
