Vibrant Planet Raises $17M in Seed Funding
Summary
Vibrant Planet, a San Francisco, CA-based creator of the OS for forest restoration, raised $17M in seed funding. Angel investors include Meta’s Chief Product Officer Chris Cox and Netflix’s former Chief Product Officer and current Vibrant Planet CPO, Neil Hunt. Led by CEO Allison Wolff and Chief Scientist Dr. Hugh Safford, Vibrant Planet is an operating system that provides organizations, state and federal agencies, and land managers with a comprehensive platform for forest treatment planning, decision support, monitoring and reporting, and investment prioritization. This technology allows multiple stakeholders to collaboratively plan forest health treatments in months rather than years while staying within a target budget and qualifying projects for carbon financing from companies with net zero goals. Land owners and natural resource managers, organizations, and administrations can: • Prioritize where and how funding should be used to minimize risk and maximize carbon, water, and biodiversity benefits • Develop verified fire-adapted forest carbon projects that help companies achieve net zero goals
