Topl - unlocking the value of positive impact

Topl is a blockchain platform built for tracking, tokenization, and monetizing global impact. The functionalities enable the company to not only compile data but also create new markets for impact investments. Topl’s impact technology empowers corporations, startups, and nonprofits to unlock the value of their positive Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) and other global impact initiatives.

Digitalization and transparency are becoming increasingly critical aspects of tracking and proving sustainability claims, especially as it relates to supply chains. The lack of data and data privacy has proved challenging for supply chains in particular. Seeing no seamless solutions available for supply chains, Topl created a platform that presents proof of data and induces trust without sharing sensitive information.

There are three major aspects on Topl’s roadmap.  The first is decentralizing its blockchain so that there’s community governance. The next two elements will consist of launching new blockchain-powered products: a traceability-as-a-service application and registry-as-a-service application for carbon credits.

The company works with customers who utilize blockchain technology for things ranging from sustainability-focused startups launching carbon credits to move-to-earn applications where the customer can earn carbon credits by biking instead of driving a car to work.  

With its Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) solution, Topl offers full transparency, traceability, and verification into Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) claims. By using an open blockchain solution, businesses can provide tangible proof that’s free from data loss or manipulation. Instead of forcing companies to commit to major consulting engagements or make significant upfront technology investments, Topl’s flexible subscription model encourages hands-on learning through experimentation so that businesses can start working with a blockchain and see for themselves how it can transform an organization.

Kim Raath, James Aman, Christopher Georgen are the co-founders of Topl.  Topl has raised a total of $20.4M in funding.
