The problem

Nature evidence for individual sites is still slow and expensive

Organisations increasingly need to understand how forests, farms, restoration projects, supplier locations and land investments interact with nature. But evidence for a specific location still depends heavily on fragmented datasets, specialist GIS work and custom reporting.

Most teams choose between scores that are too coarse and assessments that are too slow. VerdeSat provides the practical first layer between those two extremes.

Too coarse

High-level nature scores

Useful for initial orientation, but often too broad for decisions about a specific place.

Too slow

Bespoke GIS and ecology projects

More detailed, but difficult to repeat across many locations, customers or reporting cycles.

The workflow

From land boundary to decision-ready Evidence Pack in minutes

  1. 01

    Upload the land boundary

    Upload the boundary of a forest, farm, restoration project or other area you need to assess.

  2. 02

    Run the analysis

    VerdeSat processes satellite imagery, land-cover information and relevant contextual data through its analytics platform.

  3. 03

    Receive the Evidence Pack

    Review the AI summary and recommendations, maps, metric breakdowns, vegetation history, methods, limitations and data lineage.

  4. 04

    Make the next decision

    Compare sites, identify potential concerns, monitor change, brief a consultant or decide where deeper investigation is justified.

The product

Many land assets. One report. A clearer next step.

VerdeSat translates complex geospatial data into outputs that non-GIS teams can review, compare and reuse.

Proprietary scoring layer

B-Score

A proprietary 0–100 screening score summarising selected indicators of habitat structure, landscape condition and vegetation dynamics.

Live today

Maps

Maps of vegetation condition. Land cover, landscape structure and relevant nature-related context are available on request.

Live today

Metrics

Habitat-related metrics including intactness, land-cover diversity, fragmentation, vegetation vigour and trend signals.

Live today

Vegetation history

Satellite-derived vegetation index time series and trend views, including indicators such as NDVI and MSAVI.

Live today

Evidence Pack

A downloadable report containing metrics, maps, trends, AI-based summary and interpretation, methods, limitations and data lineage.

In development

Enhanced metrics and API

Extended API integrations, new cutting-edge metrics based on spectral diversity, species abundance, and protected areas are coming soon.

Use cases

One analysis engine. Several practical workflows.

Corporate sustainability and risk teams

Problem
Nature-related reporting and internal risk requests are increasing, but many teams lack fast evidence for specific assets, projects and supplier locations.
VerdeSat helps
Screen owned assets, project locations, supplier footprints and land exposure before commissioning deeper analysis.
Typical output
Evidence Packs for internal reviews, prioritisation, reporting support and consultant briefing.

Environmental and biodiversity consultancies

Problem
Expert time is often consumed by repetitive data collection, GIS preprocessing and baseline report preparation.
VerdeSat helps
Standardise first-pass assessment and baseline preparation so specialists can focus on interpretation, fieldwork and client recommendations.
Typical output
Repeatable baseline reports, maps, metrics and client-ready supporting material.

Restoration and land-management actors

Problem
Projects need credible and repeatable evidence of vegetation and landscape-condition change.
VerdeSat helps
Track vegetation dynamics, land-cover change and landscape-condition signals across reporting periods.
Typical output
Monitoring updates and reports for funders, partners and internal management.

Investors, lenders and real-asset owners

Problem
Nature and land-use concerns are often identified too late in the investment process.
VerdeSat helps
Compare individual land assets before deeper expert diligence or capital allocation.
Typical output
Comparable indicators for individual assets, evidence-backed risk flags and a clear basis for further investigation.
Impact

Faster evidence changes what gets protected

VerdeSat exists to make nature evidence cheap enough and fast enough to be used routinely — because decisions about land are made whether or not the evidence arrives in time.

More land assessed

Sites that would never justify a bespoke GIS project now get a consistent nature assessment, widening the share of land under observation.

Better restoration decisions

Vegetation and land-cover change is tracked across reporting periods, so restoration effort and funding follow evidence rather than assumption.

Nature earlier in capital decisions

Comparable indicators arrive before capital is committed, moving nature from a late-stage check to an input in the decision itself.

Expert time where it counts

Automating first-pass screening frees ecologists and GIS specialists for interpretation, fieldwork and recommendations.

Science and methods

Transparent by design

VerdeSat combines satellite-derived vegetation dynamics with land-cover structure and contextual geospatial information.

Every report carries its data sources, indicator definitions, method information and lineage, so results can be checked, defended and reused.

Core data

Sentinel-2 imagery and 10 m land-cover data, with contextual biodiversity, protected-area and pressure layers where they are relevant to the site.

Screening-grade by design

VerdeSat delivers the fast first layer of assessment and hands a clear, documented baseline to field ecology and formal assessment where those are needed.

The purpose

To show where attention, monitoring, budget or deeper investigation belongs — and to show it early enough to act on.

Why VerdeSat

Built for repeatable decisions—not one-off maps

Focused workflow

Land boundary in, usable Evidence Pack out.

Satellite-first

Designed to extend across sites and geographies without rebuilding the workflow for every project.

Transparent outputs

Methods, limitations and lineage are part of the product rather than an afterthought.

Proprietary scoring layer

VerdeSat converts multiple geospatial indicators into a consistent and understandable assessment while retaining proprietary calibration and scoring logic.

Built around buyer workflows

Outputs are designed for reporting support, prioritisation, consultant briefing, monitoring and early-stage diligence.

The story

Built from direct experience with environmental satellite analytics

VerdeSat was founded by Andrey Dara, a remote-sensing scientist and a co-founder of CarbonSpace.

During his PhD in remote sensing and land-cover change at Humboldt University of Berlin, Andrey worked on turning complex satellite observations into usable environmental evidence. At CarbonSpace, he later helped build satellite analytics for carbon fluxes in agriculture and forestry.

Customers repeatedly asked whether similar technology could also support biodiversity decisions. VerdeSat was created to turn that recurring demand into a focused, operational product.

Andrey Dara, founder of VerdeSat

“The problem is not a lack of environmental data. It is turning fragmented data and specialist workflows into evidence that decision-makers can actually use.”

Companies, investors and restoration projects increasingly need fast, comparable evidence for forests, farms and other land assets. VerdeSat already automates the first step: upload a boundary and receive a decision-ready Evidence Pack in minutes.

The product roadmap extends this working platform into recurring monitoring, portfolio screening and API integrations—creating a scalable software and data business.

VerdeSat is opening conversations with founder-friendly pre-seed investors, strategic partners and non-dilutive funding programmes supporting biodiversity, Earth observation and climate technology.
