Acuicy

Acuicy is a SaaS company that has developed an AI-driven platform to help businesses achieve their net-zero carbon emission goals. The company was founded in Halifax, Canada, in 2021 by Allison Murray and Dawne Skinner. Both founders have over two decades of experience in sustainability strategy and environmental engineering, respectively. They launched Acuicy to address the challenge many businesses face in identifying and implementing cost-effective carbon reduction strategies.

The company's core product is a software platform that uses AI, deep industry data, and analytics to provide businesses with tailored low-carbon solutions. It analyzes a company's operations to identify carbon hotspots and then generates a list of actionable, low-carbon initiatives. For each initiative, the platform provides detailed financial analysis, including the required capital expenditure (CapEx), projected cost savings, emissions reductions, and the overall return on investment (ROI). This enables businesses to make informed decisions that are both environmentally and financially sound. The platform features a Scenario Planner that allows users to model different decarbonization options and visualize their impact on emissions, costs, and capital needs over various time horizons.

Acuicy primarily targets small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their supply chains, as these companies often lack the resources and expertise to tackle decarbonization effectively. The business model is a business-to-business (B2B) SaaS subscription, with scalable pricing that adapts as a client's business grows. The platform is designed to be user-friendly for non-experts and to facilitate collaboration across different departments like sustainability, finance, and procurement. Initially, the platform focuses on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with plans to expand to Scope 3 to help larger corporations engage their suppliers in emission reduction efforts.
