UK Climate Tech Startup ‘Unwritten’ founded by Ex-Palantir Exec raises $3.5M to integrate climate change into investment decisions

London-based startup Unwritten has secured $3.5 million in seed funding to address the challenge of integrating climate change considerations into every investment decision. Founded by former Palantir executives, Unwritten aims to provide investors with tools to incorporate climate risks and opportunities into their financial models.

Despite the increasing importance of climate change in the global economy, there is a lack of consistent methods to incorporate climate-related risks and opportunities into financial models. Unwritten aims to address this gap by providing investors with tools to accurately represent climate change impacts in their investment decisions.

What they said

“New approaches are quickly emerging to predict the impact of the climate transition on markets around the world. Unwritten brings climate economics into financial decision making, helping investors react to these seismic shifts.” – Prof. Cameron Hepburn, University of Oxford

“Great analytics help people ask the right questions in the right language, to inform the decisions their organizations make. Unwritten makes financial sense of the climate transition — not to predict the future, but so our clients can make the capital allocation decisions to build it.” – Amos Wittenberg, Co-founder and CEO of Unwritten

Unwritten translates the complex dynamics of climate change into firm-level financial data, enabling investors to assess climate-related risks and opportunities at both private and public companies.

By leveraging big data techniques, Unwritten’s models cover a wide range of sectors, regions, policies, and technologies, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of climate impacts on the global economy.

Unwritten’s target users include investors, lenders, and companies seeking to integrate climate change considerations into their capital allocation decisions.

The company’s analytics provide insights into the financial implications of the climate transition, empowering organizations to make informed decisions that align with sustainability goals.
