Sightline, a market intelligence platform powering the transition economy, has raised $5.5M in a round co-led by Molten Ventures.

Sightline’s AI-powered platform analyses data to provide intelligence to clients including major corporates, financial institutions, and governments. 

It is a market intelligence platform that provides data, analytics, and research focused on the climate technology sector, helping investors, corporations, and governments navigate the new climate economy by offering insights into emerging climate tech solutions and market trends through a “climate-first” approach; essentially, it aims to accelerate the deployment of climate tech by providing clear information about the market landscape. 

This new funding will enable Sightline to expand its research capabilities, broaden sector coverage, and accelerate platform development to meet growing demand. 

Clients including HSBC, Southern Company, BHP, Galvanize Climate Solutions, and the US Department of Energy use Sightline’s tools to navigate the complex dynamics of the transition economy across energy, transport, and industrial sectors, capitalising on emerging opportunities.

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.”

Kim Zou, CEO and co-founder of Sightline, commented: “A competitive transition hinges on matching the right strategies and capital with the right solutions at the right time. As solutions mature, stakeholders need clarity, precision, and tools to understand, monitor, predict, and act effectively. We’re developing the deeper analytics and tools to power decision-making and capital allocation in the transition economy.”
