Berlin, 17.06.2026 — Seqana, a digital MRV (Monitoring, Reporting and Verification) company that quantifies soil health using  satellite imagery and machine learning, announced the close of a EUR 3.2 million funding round led by Pymwymic, joined by existing investors HTGF and Counteract. The investment furthers Seqana’s work on soil carbon quantification and extends it into a broader set of soil health indicators enabling  food, fiber and fuel companies and carbon market project developers with the data they need to measure both their climate impact and supply chain resilience.

Soil health is becoming central to how Agrifood and commodity companies manage both climate goals and supply chain risk. Soil carbon, a keystone indicator of overall soil health, remains one of the most scalable natural carbon sinks available. Measuring soil carbon and its accumulation over time across agricultural land evaluates the health of soils but can also determine the success of regenerative agriculture interventions on the voluntary carbon market (VCM). 

Alongside the VCM, soil health is emerging as a measurable financial risk: degradation already costs the EU an estimated EUR 50 billion a year, and more than 60% of European soils are classed as unhealthy (European Commission). The link to agricultural supply chain resilience is quantifiable. During the 2023 droughts in Europe, French farms using advanced regenerative practices lost just 8% of their yields, against 22% on the least regenerative farms.

Seqana’s Approach:

Founded in Berlin in 2020, Seqana pairs proprietary machine learning models with ground-truth data and satellite imagery to build tools like Digital Soil Maps that quantify soil health for project developers and food, fiber, and fuel companies. Seqana also helped shape the standards governing the voluntary carbon market by co-authoring Verra’s VM0042 v3 methodology and Gold Standard’s SOC Model Guidelines. With customers such as Danone, eAgronom, Klim, and Bayer, Seqana’s products are working in the field to enable both project developers and Agrifood corporates alike to quantify soil carbon at scale with millions of hectares assessed to date. 

With the new funding, Seqana will accelerate the development of its soil carbon MRV tooling while also extending measurement capabilities to additional soil health indicators and carbon pools. These new developments will give customers a clearer picture of how well their regenerative agriculture programs are working and where they should prioritize intervention.

“Carbon is core to what we do, and it stays that way. It’s how the market first learned to put a value on soil, and the discipline our measurement is built on,” said Stefan Goenner, co-founder and CEO of Seqana. “What this round adds is the ability to manage the rest of what healthy soil delivers: yield stability, product quality and ultimately supply chain continuity. Together, that gives companies a far fuller picture of the ground their supply depends on.”

The round is led by Pymwymic, an Amsterdam-based impact-focused venture capital fund whose portfolio spans precision agriculture and adjacent sectors, including Aurea Imaging, Kilter and Resurrect Bio.

"Seqana is turning soil organic carbon from an invisible asset into a measurable one. We are proud to back a technology with the potential to transform how agricultural resilience is understood and rewarded." — Monique Meulemans, Partner at Pymwymic

The round is a mix of venture capital and debt capital, including a startup loan from Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank, and builds on earlier investment from Counteract and HTGF, alongside grant funding from the European Space Agency.
