ESG Satellite Data Business Plan

CodexSigma × Satellite Climate Intelligence

Executive Summary

Company: CodexSigma (ESG Satellite Data Division)
Product: Real-time satellite ESG data platform for impact investors & enterprises
Market: Impact investing ($1.2T AUM globally) + Enterprise ESG compliance
Wedge: Proprietary climate/ESG metrics verified by satellite imagery
First Revenue: 6 months | Path to $10M ARR: 3 years

CodexSigma leverages quantum-verified AI + satellite data to provide the world's first verifiable, real-time ESG intelligence for impact investing and enterprise climate compliance.

1. The Opportunity

Market Size

Impact Investing Market: Global impact AUM: $1.2 trillion (2024), growing at 15% CAGR, 2,000+ impact investment firms globally. Increasingly needing proof of ESG impact (not just claims).

Enterprise ESG Compliance: SEC climate disclosure rules (2025+), CSRD in EU, $500B in ESG compliance software needed by 2025. Companies need facility-level verification.

The Problem

ESG data expensive ($50K-$500K/year per portfolio company)
Slow (quarterly updates, 3-month lag)
No satellite verification = easy to fake ESG claims
