Sustainability & Grid Intelligence

Stop Pitching to Local Recyclers.
Get Verified CleanTech ICPs.

The "Environmental" category is flooded with local scrap yards and inactive non-profits. Our AI agents verify carbon capture metrics, Grid edge (DER) management APIs, and LCA compliance data to find verified Carbon Removal Startups, Energy Storage Labs, and Circular SaaS.

The "Green" Data Blur

Why firmographic filters miss the high-tech decarbonizers.

Targeting "Environmental Services" returns thousands of businesses with zero IT budget. You need to know what they capture and how they optimize.

If you are selling carbon accounting, industrial IoT, or renewable energy cloud, you need the builders:

  • Local Waste Management (Logistics only)
  • Environmental Blogs & Activist Sites
  • Inactive Carbon Offset Resellers

Anatomy of a High-Value CleanTech Lead

In CleanTech, the "Grid Connectivity" and "Registry Status" define the buying center. A firm with an active Carbon Removal Certification and Utility-Grade SCADA is a top-tier account.

We extract these "Sustainable Signals" to help you find the builders.

Tech Fingerprints

  • Platform: Detection of DERMS, SCADA, or specialized Python pipelines.
  • Sync: Usage of OpenADR, IEEE 2030.5, or specialized utility sync.
  • ID: Integration with Puro.earth, Gold Standard, or specialized carbon registries.

Growth Signals

  • Funding: Series A/B/C match via Crunchbase for "CleanTech" or "Climate" tags.
  • Carbon: >10k Tons sequestered mentioned in news or whitepapers.
  • Hiring: Open roles for "Grid Engineer," "LCA Specialist," or "Battery Scientist."

Outreach Strategy: The "Audit" Play

If you sell a carbon-compliance tool, filter for circular economy startups with high traffic but no "Scope 3" or LCA Documentation mention.
Pitch: "Unlock enterprise retail contracts by automating your product's life-cycle assessment (LCA) audits directly via our API..."

Verification: The "Builder" Check

We distinguish between companies that sell offsets and companies that create removal.

  • GitHub Presence: Are they publishing open-source energy models or hardware drivers?
  • Technical Specs: Presence of whitepapers with real atmospheric or grid data (e.g. MWh/CO2e).
  • Facility Check: Does the address match a site with high-bay R&D or pilot-plant signals?

This ensures you pitch to actual manufacturers, not just theoretical research groups.
