Newtral Secures Seed Funding to Scale AI-Native Sustainability

We’re excited to announce that Newtral has successfully closed its Seed Round funding—a significant milestone that accelerates our mission to transform how enterprises approach sustainability and ESG performance.

This funding round is more than just capital. It represents validation of our vision: building the world’s first AI-native sustainability infrastructure that enables enterprises to move beyond manual, fragmented processes and embrace a real-time, automated, and strategic approach to climate performance.

For too long, sustainability has been treated as a reporting burden—complex spreadsheets, siloed data, and slow, compliance-driven workflows. At Newtral, we’re changing that. Our platform is designed to help businesses automate Scope 3 data, simplify ESG compliance, and unlock sustainability as a driver of long-term competitive advantage.

The Seed Round strengthens our ability to:

• ⁠Expand product development across emissions, compliance, and supplier intelligence
• Invest further in our AI and automation engine
• Grow a team that blends expertise in engineering, climate science, and enterprise systems
• Scale solutions that empower high-impact industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, real estate, and retail

This moment marks the beginning of a new chapter—not only for Newtral, but for every business striving to align sustainability with growth.

Why We’re Building Newtral

The way sustainability is managed today is fundamentally broken. Most enterprises rely on fragmented workflows, outdated spreadsheets, and manual reporting cycles to track their climate performance. The result? Delayed insights, incomplete data, and sustainability teams struggling to keep pace with the speed of business.

In a world where global supply chains operate in real-time, sustainability cannot afford to lag behind. Companies are under growing pressure from regulators, investors, customers, and employees to demonstrate transparency, reduce emissions, and show measurable ESG progress. Yet the tools they rely on are stuck in the past.

That’s the problem Newtral was created to solve.

We are building the infrastructure layer for modern sustainability—a system that combines automation, intelligence, and compliance into one seamless platform. Instead of treating sustainability as a reactive reporting requirement, Newtral enables organizations to run it like a core business process.

Here’s how we’re reimagining sustainability management:

• Document Intelligence – Using AI to automatically extract data from bills, reports, and supplier documents, reducing errors and saving valuable time.
• Supplier Assessments – Providing companies with deeper visibility into their supply chains, ensuring transparency and accountability across Scope 3 emissions.
• Emissions Automation – Moving beyond spreadsheets with real-time emissions tracking that scales across Scope 1, 2, and 3.
• Compliance Frameworks – Offering ready-to-use templates and workflows aligned with evolving ESG standards, tailored for industries like pharma, chemicals, real estate, and retail.

By unifying these capabilities, Newtral gives enterprises the power to act on sustainability, not just report it. Our vision is clear: make sustainability data as real-time, automated, and decision-ready as any other critical business system.

Our Investors & Strategic Partners

Behind every transformative company are partners who believe in the mission early on. We’re proud to share that our Seed Round was led by NOW Venture Studio, alongside a group of seasoned operators, angel investors, and early believers who share our vision of building the next generation of sustainability infrastructure.

These backers bring more than just capital. They bring operational expertise, deep networks, and strategic insight to help us scale responsibly and accelerate our journey. Their support validates the urgency of fixing how enterprises manage sustainability and their confidence in Newtral’s ability to deliver that change.

We’re equally proud of our collaboration with IIM Bangalore, one of India’s leading academic institutions. This partnership allows us to incorporate academic rigor into our platform—particularly in building India-focused emission factor datasets and sustainability models. Together, we’re bridging the gap between research and enterprise application, ensuring that businesses in emerging markets can access reliable, localized, and science-based data.

While we are not disclosing our valuation at this stage, this round provides us with the resources to:

• Expand our team with top talent across engineering, climate science, and enterprise systems
• Strengthen our AI and automation engine to power faster, more accurate sustainability insights
• Enhance our product stack to meet the complex needs of high-impact industries
• Grow our market presence in India and globally, building solutions that scale across borders

This milestone is not just a financial win—it’s a vote of confidence from investors and partners who see sustainability as one of the defining challenges and opportunities of our time. With their support, we’re better positioned to transform how businesses measure, manage, and act on climate performance.

What’s Next for Newtral

Closing our Seed Round is only the beginning. This milestone equips us with the capital and momentum to accelerate product innovation, expand our team, and scale our impact across industries and geographies.

Here’s where we’re headed next:

• Expanding Our Product Stack
  We’re building a comprehensive sustainability infrastructure—one that spans emissions tracking, compliance workflows, and supplier intelligence. Our goal is to give enterprises a single, AI-powered platform that simplifies sustainability management from end to end.
  
• Deepening Vertical Solutions
  Different industries face different challenges. From pharmaceutical supply chains to chemical manufacturing footprints, from real estate emissions tracking to retail compliance frameworks, we’re doubling down on creating sector-specific solutions that reflect the unique realities of high-impact industries.
  
• Strengthening AI & Automation
  At the core of Newtral is our AI-native engine. We’re investing in more advanced automation models to make sustainability real-time, scalable, and decision-ready. By reducing manual work, we aim to free sustainability teams to focus on strategy, not data entry.
  
• Growing a Cross-Functional Team
  Building the future of sustainability requires more than engineers. It requires climate scientists, data experts, and enterprise leaders who understand how to bridge technology with environmental impact. With this raise, we’ll continue to grow a team that embodies this unique blend of expertise.

This is our roadmap: to move sustainability from the sidelines into the core of business decision-making. With the right capital, the right team, and the right partners, we’re confident in shaping a future where sustainability is no longer a reporting checkbox, but a strategic advantage.
