Metrikflow, the all-in-one ESG platform for the industrial sector, today announced the closing of a €565,000 pre-seed funding round and the official launch of its AI-powered “Operating System for Sustainability and Compliance” — an end-to-end software suite that digitalizes, automates, and simplifies carbon footprint reporting, ESG disclosures aligned with CSRD and IFRS, product life-cycle assessments (LCA), and supplier ESG evaluations.
The funding round was subscribed by Magic Mind, the accelerator backed by Zest and Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, and by Apside, the joint investment vehicle of Zest and Intesa Sanpaolo, along with European business angels active in the climate tech and SaaS sectors.
Metrikflow’s platform supports the full sustainability and compliance journey of enterprises through artificial intelligence — from calculating corporate carbon footprints to generating ESG indicators, from emissions reporting across production chains to identifying actionable insights to reduce impact.
The company’s mission is to enable 10,000 enterprises to future-proof and decarbonize their operations by 2030.
The industrial sector accounts for about 30% of global carbon emissions, yet more than 80% of companies still do not measure their supply chain impact. Metrikflow fills this gap with a single platform that allows organizations to collect data from ERP systems, sensors, and suppliers; analyze Scope 1–3 emissions; report according to ESG regulations such as CSRD, CBAM, and future international frameworks; and reduce their footprint through AI-driven automated recommendations.
“Regulatory pressure may face resistance, but investor, customer, and market expectations continue to rise,” said Alessandro Nora, CEO & Founder of Metrikflow. “We built Metrikflow so that companies — large and small — can eliminate the daily burden of compliance, leveraging advanced AI to make sustainability simple and seamlessly integrated.”
“Metrikflow is a tangible example of how artificial intelligence can enable real solutions to complex challenges like ESG compliance and decarbonization, through a scalable, industry-oriented approach,” said Gabriele Ronchini, CEO of Zest Investments and Vice President of Apside’s Investment Committee. “With the implementation of CSRD and the progressive expansion of reporting requirements across the European business landscape, companies urgently need digital tools capable of turning data into competitive advantage. Metrikflow responds to this need swiftly and effectively.”
With over 50 active clients — including Comau, Balocco, Yokohama, Macron, and Syngenta Biologicals — Metrikflow is positioning itself as the strategic partner for decarbonization and ESG compliance.
Founded in late 2022 by Alessandro Nora, Mehdi Rachico, and Andrea Gobbo, Metrikflow aims to support more than 200 companies in the next two years, through a SaaS platform that automates the most time-consuming ESG reporting processes, turning complex data into actionable insights.
Born from Nora’s vision in Berlin — following his experience in sustainable fashion — the startup has grown around the idea of making sustainability measurable and accessible across the entire industrial value chain. As pressure to measure Scope 3 emissions rises globally, well beyond regulatory mandates, Metrikflow delivers a ready, scalable, and international technology helping companies stay competitive in the sustainable transition.
