AI-driven sustainability The Upright Project has launched AI-powered tools and an AI model to measure sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities, presenting a scalable solution for investors, firms, and service providers seeking data-driven ESG due diligence and decision making.

Open impact data Maintains the world’s largest open-access database on company impact with science-based data covering 10,000+ companies, offering a compelling data asset for partners needing transparent metrics for client analytics, investment research, or benchmarking services.

Strategic partnerships Recent collaborations with Statista and LexisNexis Intellectual Property Solutions, plus Persefoni, signal a market receptiveness to integrating Upright’s DMA data with broader platforms, enabling co-sell or bundle opportunities for sustainability due diligence and reporting.

Private equity focus Recent launch of an impact database tailored for the private equity sector creates a targeted entry point for PE firms seeking standardized impact metrics to inform deal sourcing, due diligence, and portfolio optimization.

Financing and growth Seed funding of around €5 million and ongoing product development indicate growth readiness and budget for expanding sales outreach, customer onboarding, and enterprise-level deployments across finance, consulting, and corporate sustainability teams.
