Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

Seqana is a legitimate, venture-backed climate tech startup developing satellite-powered MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) tools for soil organic carbon, addressing a genuine problem in regenerative agriculture and carbon markets. However, the submission contains highly inaccurate, exaggerated, and spam-like claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audienceReach: everyone', a team size of 125 vs actual ~25, and a bizarre market cap of 500,000). Due to these unsupported and false claims in the submission itself, the quality factors for reach, traction, and response quality are heavily penalized (0.5), dragging the final score down despite the underlying company's strong real-world utility and verified funding.

Description

Berlin-based Seqana leverages remote sensing and Machine Learning to build data-driven approaches to Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of soil-based carbon removal projects. Whether the goal is to improve soil health, claim CO2 removals, or promote supply chain resilience, Seqana works directly with our customers to find the right solution for their needs. Seqana enables corporations, project developers, and NGOs to implement accurate, scalable, and cost effective solutions that leverage the latest, validated approaches to measuring Soil Organic Carbon. We work with customers aiming to create carbon removal credits via the Voluntary Carbon Markets or account for removals in accordance with Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG-P) and other international standards. By harnessing the power of cutting edge technologies to enhance accuracy and drive down costs, Seqana enables corporations and project developers to prioritize, plan, and report for their global soil projects and claim CO2 removals.
