About Hula Earth
In the last 50 years alone, we have seen a 70% decline in biodiversity and there is a massive funding shortfall to halt biodiversity loss. One bottleneck is the lack of data needed to verify the impact of nature investments as traditional data sources either not accurate enough or not scalable.
At Hula, we pioneer tech-driven solutions for biodiversity conservation and sustainable investments. We specialize in building the data layer for nature investments, blending satellite insights with our proprietary IoT Sensor network. Our mission is to make nature investments accessible, actionable, and scalable through technology.
At the end of 2024, we secured a €1.6 million pre-seed round – backed by some of Europe's top investors, including Point Nine Capital and renowned business angels such as Lawrence Leuschner (TIER Mobility), Kilian Kaminski (refurbed), and Tobias Rieker (Markt-Pilot). With this support we're now focused on increasing traction and preparing the company for a strong Seed round.
Join us now in shaping a more sustainable future through data-driven environmental stewardship.
