FOR CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL NONPROFITS
Technology that fits how your climate team actually works.
We fix disconnected tools, aging systems and unanswered AI questions, starting with a fixed-price, 2–4 week sprint that ends in a pilot plan a funder can say yes to.
The Root-to-Canopy™ Method: prove it before you invest in a platform.
Led by Salana Adhikari, 20+ years at Microsoft and Qualtrics
Engineering team in Nepal
Fixed-price first sprints
Purchase approvals: 5.5 days → 20 minutes
WHAT SLOWS CLIMATE WORK DOWN
The mission is clear. The technology path is not.
Most climate organizations know where they’re going. What slows them down is technology that doesn’t fit how the work really happens, and tools that go dark when the grant ends.
Our tools don’t connect
Data lives in spreadsheets, inboxes and people’s heads.
Reporting eats the week
Grant and board reports get built by hand, every time.
Everyone’s asking about AI
Leaders are keen, staff are wary, and there’s no policy yet.
The old system is too risky to touch
Nobody knows what breaks if it changes.
How we move the mission forward
Every engagement starts with a short, fixed-price sprint. Pick the door that matches your problem. Fixed price, quoted after a call. No obligation to continue.

How we work
Most technology projects start at the branches: pick a tool, build features. We start underground, with how your people actually work, because that decides whether anything above it survives.

FOUNDING PARTNERS
We’re taking three climate and environmental nonprofits through a sprint at a founding rate. In return, we write a case study together about what changed. Salana leads every sprint herself, so there are only three places.
