Guildford’s NatureMetrics secures $25m Series B funding

Guildford-based NatureMetrics has raised $25 million in Series B funding to accelerate development of its biodiversity monitoring solution.
The funding round was led by Just Climate, alongside EDF Pulse Ventures and the Monaco ReOcean Fund, with participation from existing investors 2150, BNP Paribas, Ananda Impact Ventures and SWEN Blue Ocean.
NatureMetrics will put the money towards enhancing its nature intelligence platform, expanding its data, AI and digital capabilities, and broadening its international reach.
The firm operates labs in both the UK and Canada – with a partner lab in Indonesia – and works with more than 600 clients such as Unilever, Anglo American and the WWF.
Dimple Patel, CEO of NatureMetrics, said:“Companies can no longer afford to ignore their impact on ecosystems.
“Addressing nature-related risks isn’t just about compliance – it’s about future-proofing business operations and making meaningful contributions to a sustainable future.
“This investment will allow us to rapidly accelerate our solution, enabling businesses to understand nature across their supply chains and make informed operational and financial decisions.
“We’re making nature data accessible and actionable, driving a shift towards a more sustainable global economy.”
Since COP15 and the Global Biodiversity Framework, new reporting requirements such as CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) have amplified demand for robust nature data.
Siddarth Shrikanth, director, natural climate solutions at Just Climate, added: “We believe that companies across industries seeking to protect and restore nature within their operations and supply chains lack the high-quality data they need to act with confidence.
“NatureMetrics combines the power of environmental DNA technology with a range of other data sources to generate actionable insights, and we are delighted to support their scale-up journey at a critical moment for global biodiversity action.”
