Climate market intelligence platform Sightline has secured a $5.5m (£4.4m) seed funding round as it charts a course for rapid expansion.

The London-based business has built a platform that organizes the climate ecosystem, providing tactical research and insights, and bringing clarity to climate. It has already attracted more than 70 international clients, such as major corporates, financial institutions, and governments — including HSBC, Southern Company, BHP, Galvanize Climate Solutions, and the US Department of Energy.

Sightline said it will use the funding to expand its research capabilities, broaden sector coverage, and accelerate platform development to meet growing demand. This includes using AI-powered tools to deliver data-driven predictive insights to inform decision-making and enable smarter capital allocation.

The round was co-led by London-listed venture capital investor Molten Ventures.

George Chalmers, Head of Climate at Molten Ventures, said: “Sightline is rapidly emerging as the trusted benchmark for market participants navigating the climate transition.

“While it’s widely understood that this shift will require a massive reallocation of capital, we currently lack the necessary data, insights, and tools to guide the right actions at points of the cycle. We’re excited to partner with the Sightline team as they scale their industry-leading data and analytics platform for the emerging climate economy.”
