By Green Places
Green Places provides a comprehensive sustainability platform combining innovative technology with expert advisory to empower organizations in carbon accounting, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting, and climate-related disclosures. The platform supports compliance with California climate regulations, CDP, EcoVadis, and SBTi reporting. The company serves diverse industries including restaurants, hotels, tech firms, legal services, and more, positioning itself as a strategic partner for sustainability leadership and regulatory compliance.
Founded by Alex Lassiter in 2021, Green Places focused on making sustainability easy and actionable for mid-market companies. It grew based on the recognition of a market need where 83% of global emissions come from businesses outside of the Fortune 500, thus targeting a large underserved market segment. From initial pre-seed funding in 2021, Green Places rapidly expanded its platform capabilities, client base, and team, currently employing around 63 people with a 26% growth in employee count recently.
Green Places has raised approximately $19 million in total funding through four rounds, including a $13 million Series A in June 2023 led by Redpoint Ventures with participation from Felicis, Tishman Speyer Ventures, Bull City Venture Partners, and others. Their total funding is reported around $22 million in some sources. The company’s estimated annual revenue is $12.6 million, with around 63 employees generating an average revenue per employee of $200,514. Valuation specifics are not publicly disclosed but are positioned as a growing mid-market SaaS company in sustainability tech.
