Netnada - raises $200k to help sme’s measure sustainability




Climate Action Company NetNada that measures and reports carbon footprint for  SMEs has raised $200,000 in Seed funding from Skalata Ventures


NetNada’s uses AI to automatically assess a company’s data and identify the impact of expenditure on the environment, then suggests the best ways to reduce impact, while also identifying cost savings and automating communications with stakeholders.


Founders Lochie Burke and Afonso Firm wanted to make it super easy for SMEs to act sustainably and make it as important as doing your tax return


Lochie says that business owners want to do the right thing and measure sustainability but don’t know how ! Offsetting carbon, cleaning up supply chains, and searching for green solutions amidst the greenwashing is a minefield for non-experts.”


You can only manage what you measure 


NetNada received an  MVP Grant from the NSW Government, and also took part in the UNSW Founders and CSIRO ON programs. 

David Burt, who ran the ON program before going on to become Director of Entrepreneurship at UNSW, has joined NetNada as an advisor.


Skalata co-founder Darrell Wade is excited about investing as he sees that  carbon accounting will become an essential part of a company’s reporting framework, and Netnada can help them do this.
