Seqana announced that it has raised €3.2 million in funding led by Pymwymic. Existing investors HTGF and Counteract also participated in the round. The financing includes a mix of venture capital and debt capital, including a startup loan from Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank.
Seqana is a Berlin-based digital MRV company that uses satellite imagery and machine learning to quantify soil health. The company’s technology helps food, fiber, and fuel companies, along with carbon market project developers, measure climate impact and supply chain resilience.
The funding will support Seqana’s work in soil carbon quantification while expanding its capabilities into a broader range of soil health indicators and carbon pools.
Soil health is becoming increasingly important for agrifood and commodity companies managing climate goals and supply chain risk. Soil carbon is a key indicator of overall soil health and one of the most scalable natural carbon sinks available.
Seqana said measuring soil carbon accumulation across agricultural land can help evaluate soil health and determine the success of regenerative agriculture interventions in the voluntary carbon market.
The company pairs proprietary machine learning models with ground-truth data and satellite imagery to build tools such as Digital Soil Maps. Seqana has assessed millions of hectares to date and works with customers including Danone, eAgronom, Klim, and Bayer.
Seqana has also helped shape voluntary carbon market standards by co-authoring Verra’s VM0042 v3 methodology and Gold Standard’s SOC Model Guidelines.
With the new funding, Seqana plans to accelerate the development of its soil carbon MRV tools and expand measurement capabilities to additional soil health indicators. The company said these capabilities will help customers better understand the performance of regenerative agriculture programs and prioritize interventions.
Pymwymic is an Amsterdam-based impact-focused venture capital fund with portfolio companies across precision agriculture and related sectors.
KEY QUOTES:
“Carbon is core to what we do, and it stays that way. It’s how the market first learned to put a value on soil, and the discipline our measurement is built on. What this round adds is the ability to manage the rest of what healthy soil delivers: yield stability, product quality and ultimately supply chain continuity. Together, that gives companies a far fuller picture of the ground their supply depends on.”
Stefan Gönner, Co-Founder and CEO of Seqana
“Seqana is turning soil organic carbon from an invisible asset into a measurable one. We are proud to back a technology with the potential to transform how agricultural resilience is understood and rewarded.”
