BOSTON, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Northwind Climate, a data platform and SaaS tool provider for the climate economy, announced the successful closure of its $1.05 million pre-seed funding round. The round included investments from climate leader Tom Steyer, former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Alexander Hoffmann of Susty Ventures, among others. The new funds will accelerate the company’s development of data and AI tools to help companies maximize their return on climate tech and sustainability investments.

While many companies are under pressure to show a better rate of return on their climate tech and sustainability investments, current internal and external solutions to this problem remain costly and inefficient. To address this need, Northwind Climate’s data platform and SaaS tools deliver proprietary, cost-effective and scalable consumer data, lead generation tools and predictive models, helping companies move products from early adoption to mass market, build brand loyalty, find new consumers and generate new revenue.

“For companies in many industries, the investments they’ve made in sustainability and climate are untapped corporate assets that, if used effectively, can deliver new customers, new market opportunities and new revenue,” said Doug Rubin, founder and CEO of Northwind Climate. “To help companies maximize these investments, Northwind Climate provides users with data and tools to target untapped markets, boost brand loyalty and bolster their bottom line. We are thrilled to have the support of such esteemed investors who share our vision for democratized business intelligence that empowers companies to scale sustainability solutions quicker and more profitably.”

“As costs drop and technology improves, the last frontier in the climate crisis remains successful communications and targeting strategies that help scale and earn long-term value,” said Tom Steyer, co-executive chair of Galvanize Climate Solutions. “Northwind Climate is an exciting platform that can provide businesses with the tools they need to leverage their work across consumer demographics, expand markets and ultimately accelerate the climate solutions we so critically need.”

“In both existing and new markets, businesses need solid commercial intelligence and deeper consumer insights to operate effectively in the area of sustainability,” said former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, member of the Northwind Climate Board of Advisors. “Northwind Climate serves that need.”

With a deep background in political campaigns and commercial marketing, the Northwind Climate team has spent decades using data analytics to forge successful communications for corporations like Coca-Cola, Uber and Disney, for presidential and gubernatorial campaigns, and for trade and industry organizations. The team includes former climate officials from the Obama White House, federal and state government; senior climate technology and investment executives; as well as experienced climate communication and policy experts. They work closely with nationally recognized pollster partners and data analytics experts to bring actionable insights to users through their data platform and SaaS tools.

Northwind Climate launched its first suite of products in late 2024, catering to corporate, nonprofit and trade group clients. Northwind Climate’s proprietary data platform provides continually updated research alongside data-backed communications insights that enable companies to better market their climate actions and products, increase revenue and strengthen their brand.
