EcoHedge is a UK-based climate tech start-up providing carbon accounting software to help small and medium enterprises track their emissions. The platform uses proprietary artificial intelligence to automate carbon measurement and reporting for businesses.

Carbon management start-up EcoHedge has secured over £400k in a pre-seed funding round hosted on the Seedrs platform. The total exceeded four times the company's initial fundraising target.

The capital will be directed towards product development and the upcoming launch of EcoHedge Express. This new offering targets industrial sectors that generate significant emissions but often lack accessible carbon tracking tools.

The raise follows increasing regulatory and market pressures on smaller enterprises to monitor their environmental impact. EcoHedge seeks to replace expensive consultants and manual tracking methods with automated software integration.

From the founder

"Industries that are difficult to decarbonise, such as manufacturing and heavy industry, are often overlooked. These industries need an easier way of monitoring, measuring and reducing their carbon footprint. At EcoHedge, we believe that companies of all sizes should be able to simply and efficiently track their carbon emissions and this is where EcoHedge comes in. We want to make it as straightforward as possible for these businesses to become climate leaders."
