$101M for the #1 Climate Management & Accounting Platform — Kentaro Kawamori, CEO of Persefoni

Nov 11, 2021

Led by CEO and Co-founder Kentaro Kawamori, Persefoni is a SaaS platform that enables companies and financial institutions to measure, disclose, and reduce their carbon footprint, thereby meeting stakeholder and regulatory climate disclosure needs with the highest degrees of trust, transparency, and ease. 

They recently announced a $101M in Series B and the launch of free carbon accounting product. Prelude Ventures and TPG’s The Rise Fund led the round — the largest-ever investment round in any Climate Tech SaaS company.

Prior to founding Persefoni, Kentaro was an early-stage venture investor and Chief Digital Officer at a Fortune 500 energy firm. In 2020, Kentaro was recognized by Forbes on its 30 Under 30 and in 2021 by SXSW in its startup pitch event.
