Environmental compliance management solution Wildnote announced it raised $1.35 million led by HG Ventures, the corporate venture arm of the Heritage Group. HG Ventures invested alongside Entrada Ventures. Wildnote is a graduate of the inaugural 2019 cohort of The Heritage Group Accelerator Powered by Techstars, a 13-week program for mentoring and developing early-stage companies in “legacy industries” like advanced materials, infrastructure, and environmental services.

“After getting to know The Heritage Group and HG Ventures through the Techstars® Accelerator program we were honored and grateful that HGV led our seed round investment,” said Kristen Hazard, co-founder and CEO of Wildnote. “We now have the resources to scale this company to ever-increasing value for our customers, investors, and employees, while achieving our mission of protecting our natural resources by delivering the best platform to collect, manage, and report on environmental compliance.”

Wildnote runs a software-as-a-service platform that allows users to document compliance with environmental regulations through surveys, photos, and location tracking to generate agency-ready consolidated reports. And Wildnote brings complicated paper reporting into the 21st century, saving time and money. Plus the company’s leadership team is comprised of longtime entrepreneurial software professionals, business developers, and community leaders with deep experience in environmental compliance.

“Wildnote is changing the future of corporate environmental accountability by removing roadblocks for compliance,” added Kip Frey, Managing Director of HG Ventures and Executive VP of New Ventures at the Heritage Group. “Wildnote reflects the quality of companies that graduate from Techstars® programs. We are proud to support Kristen and her team with this investment and beyond.”

The Wildnote has a goal of protecting natural resources and support the business by delivering a platform to collect, manage, and report on environmental compliance data. And Wildnote is a highly customizable cloud-based system for iOS, Android, and web that streamlines the process of environmental compliance so you can work smarter, not harder.
