SilviaTerra's Natural Capital Exchange (NCAPX) solves planetary market failure.
SilviaTerra helps mission-driven companies buy carbon credits from American forest owners. Based on a decade of work with America's largest landowners, our data-driven platform brings gigatons of new carbon offsets to market. Our mission is to work with every forest owner to unlock the full value of every acre.
We believe that measurements make markets. We measure every value on every acre of forest every year. Starting now, you can buy forest carbon credits from landowners in 11 states in the US South.
Forests provide many values, but timber is the only one that society has done a good job of measuring and paying for - timber literally gets weighed at the mill. Historically, it has been prohibitively expensive to have the acre-level forest data needed to underpin forest-based natural capital markets for values like carbon, wildlife habitat, fire risk, and water purification. SilviaTerra NCAPX solves this grand challenge.
We are backed by some of the world’s leading VC firms who were early investors in companies like Twitter, Etsy, Kickstarter, and Coinbase. Our global team of foresters, scientists, and technologists hails from leading research institutions and high growth technology startups.
