Envire

Founded by Johanna Behm · San Francisco · Sustainability · Early revenue

Envire is on a mission to cut 10% of global carbon emissions by making sustainability visible, and automated for the greatest live event venues, such as convention centers and Super Bowl stadiums. We do this with an intelligent data platform that supports data consolidation, analytics, and workflows tied to the physical world.

Envire is on a mission to cut 10% of global carbon emissions by automating sustainability management for the greatest live event venues. We are initially targeting North American venues, but looking to expand to Europe and Singapore within 12 months.

Envire delivers sustainable social impact by transforming the live event industry into a model that benefits local communities and reduces environmental harm. Events often rely on temporary staff from disadvantaged communities, yet these roles are low-paying, physically demanding, and occasionally expose staff to exploitation. Our platform helps venues optimize operations and reduce costs, freeing resources that can be reinvested into fair wages and workforce programs serving DACs. We are committed to inclusive hiring within our own team and plan to source 25% of future hires through workforce programs targeting underrepresented communities. Additionally, our deployments prioritize venues in downtown areas that are prone to societal challenges, ensuring that sustainability benefits—such as reduced emissions and improved working conditions—reach communities most impacted by climate and economic inequities.

What they need right now

We are looking to close our pre-seed round with the remaining allocation of $300K still available and are looking to connect with strategic angels or potential co-leads.
