Gaia AI is an MIT & Harvard startup using LiDAR, computer vision, and satellite data to collect high-quality biomass data in forests, helping land owners, project developers, and investors understand the carbon stock and timber content of their land. By measuring the carbon content of a forest with high accuracy, we give carbon credit buyers confidence that their credit was backed by a ton of carbon sequestered, and thus create trust in and help unlock the carbon credit market.
