About Dunya Analytics
Dunya Analytics is a climate-tech startup specializing in science-based digital tools that simplify biodiversity and nature risk analytics.
Their platform helps businesses manage environmental risks, meet regulatory requirements, and make a positive impact on biodiversity.
Why Biodiversity Risks Matter for Businesses
As global biodiversity loss accelerates, so do the financial risks for businesses. Ecosystem degradation and unsustainable resource use are no longer abstract environmental concerns—they present real challenges that can impact business operations and long-term sustainability.
Unfortunately, many companies fail to recognize the deep connections between their activities and the natural ecosystems they depend on. These hidden risks often go unnoticed in traditional financial reporting.
With tightening regulations and rising demands for transparency from investors, companies now face the challenging task of measuring and disclosing nature-related risks.
This is where Dunya Analytics comes in, offering an innovative solution to make biodiversity risk as manageable as financial risk.
What Dunya Analytics Offers
Dunya Analytics provides a cutting-edge digital platform that simplifies the measurement and management of biodiversity risks for businesses.
The platform integrates deep expertise in biodiversity, risk analytics, and technology to offer companies an easy way to assess and manage these often-overlooked risks.
By doing so, businesses can meet regulatory requirements, protect natural resources, and even find new opportunities for environmental impact.
“Our platform is designed to help businesses of all sizes take charge of their biodiversity risks. We make it as accessible and actionable as financial reporting, ensuring companies can progress sustainably while aligning with ecological preservation efforts,” said Megan Pillsbury, Founder and CEO of Dunya Analytics.
Scaling Up with Seed Funding
With this new seed funding, Dunya Analytics plans to expand its platform, making it even easier for companies to measure and manage biodiversity risks.
By improving their ability to meet regulatory and investor disclosure requirements, businesses can identify material risks and take steps toward becoming more environmentally sustainable.
“This funding allows us to accelerate our mission of simplifying the complex landscape of biodiversity risk for companies,” Pillsbury added. “Our solution is particularly valuable for businesses just beginning their nature-positive journeys, guiding them to allocate resources where they can have the most significant impact.”
A Step Toward Global Biodiversity Goals
Holt Thrasher, Managing Director at Synovia Capital, emphasized the importance of Dunya Analytics in helping businesses meet global biodiversity targets.
“Dunya Analytics’ solution is unique in that it uses powerful proprietary risk methodologies to interpret biodiversity data and screen for risks across a company. Our investment strengthens their ability to scale risk analysis at the pace needed to meet the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) targets.”
As businesses face growing pressure to address environmental risks, Dunya Analytics offers a timely and valuable solution. By simplifying biodiversity risk measurement and management, Dunya Analytics helps companies not only meet regulatory requirements but also contribute to the broader goal of sustainable development.
The company’s $1.2 million seed funding marks a significant step forward in empowering businesses to embrace a nature-positive approach that aligns with both financial and environmental sustainability.
