Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Leonardo is a B2B SaaS company that offers a platform for measuring, verifying, and reporting sustainability and ESG impact. The company was co-founded by Jan Moellmann (CEO), Jasper Klemm (CDO), and Samuel Khew (CPO). Moellmann's motivation to establish the company stemmed from his experiences in rural Mali and his subsequent PhD research at the Technical University of Munich, where he focused on closing data gaps in impact measurement. As a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich, Leonardo combines scientific impact measurement with technology to provide its services.
The company's business model is centered on providing its software to businesses, impact funds, foundations, and NGOs. This platform enables clients to monitor, manage, and report their social and environmental impact, helping to prevent greenwashing. It allows for the integration of custom impact frameworks and regulatory obligations like SFDR, streamlining ESG data collection and reporting. The software features tools for primary data collection, such as automated survey generation, guided data forms, and integrations with IoT devices, which are designed to function even in off-grid locations. This focus on primary, verifiable data is a key differentiator in a market often crowded by secondary data providers.
Leonardo serves a range of clients, from impact investors managing portfolios to individual businesses and non-profits seeking to demonstrate their impact to stakeholders like customers, investors, and donors. By automating workflows and providing auditable reports, the platform aims to save clients time and costs while building trust. The company also offers support from a team of impact experts to assist clients through the process. Key clients and partners mentioned include DPI, a Pan-African asset manager, Husk Power Systems, and evolutiq impact advisory.
