EcoRatings is a company founded by second-time founders, with a prior exit record, and is focused on helping companies, Web3 Infrastructure, Governments and Quasi Government agencies in reaching their Sustainability goals through use of enterprise grade Generative AI and Blockchain technologies. The Sustainability journey of an enterprise generally starts with data organization which is also the point at which EcoRatings enters. The Company has pre-trained an open-source foundation model on Sustainability domain specific data (public domain data sets) and fine-tuned it to respond well to chat queries as an ESG expert. The same model, sustaining.ai, can also sit at the heart of a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture along with Vector and Relations Databases to help enterprises run Sustainability-related chat queries on the enterprise's own structured and unstructured data sets as well as EcoRatings' AI Agents to autonomously execute Carbon measurement, reporting and validation (MRV) tasks. This includes estimating carbon absorption from the LiDAR scan of a forest so as to mint Carbon Credits. The Company is already working on developing a proprietary Foundation Model for the Sustainability vertical for which a patent is pending in the USA. EcoRatings has also created functionality on the Solana blockchain to mint, store, transfer and authenticate Carbon Credits which can be further generalized into tokenization of other Real World Assets (RWA).
