LONDON, March 6,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ocean Ledger, a geospatial
analytics startup, announces their $900K pre-seed round led by Ananda Impact
Ventures and Silverstrand Capital. The investment will help scale
its solutions that forecast coastal risks and identify
interventions for engineering firms, municipalities, environmental
services, and insurance.
Addressing the Urgent Need for Proactive Coastal Risk
Management
Over the next 15 years, climate-induced
infrastructure losses could reach $4
trillion. In 2024, 78% of insured catastrophe losses—$18.2
billion—were due to flooding. With 10% of the global population in
low-lying coastal areas and $1
trillion worth of property positioned within 700 feet of the
coastline in the US alone, localized risk assessments are crucial.
Yet, conventional tools lack the precision to evaluate coastal
erosion and protective measures.
Insightful, Continuous Risk Management for Infrastructure
& Natural Assets
Ocean Ledger fills this gap by
forecasting localized coastal shoreline and environmental changes
over time and space, harnessing satellite imagery, machine
learning, and site-level data. With 13 in-house data products
spanning natural capital accounting to coastal erosion, it offers
granular, high-resolution analytics that outperform traditional
global datasets in accuracy, scale, and usability. Project
managers, underwriters, and coastal engineers can compare physical
assets against a contextualized baseline to make and monitor
informed decisions with greater confidence.
The Leadership Team: Scientific Rigor Meets Business
Acumen
CEO and Co-Founder Paige
Roepers, a marine biologist turned investment banker, leads
the team. Joining her are Dr. Dimos
Traganos, a coastal remote sensing expert, and Dr.
Jeremiah Nieves, a data scientist in
spatial modeling and disaster risk assessment. Their expertise
balances scientific innovation with strategic insight, positioning
Ocean Ledger as a leader in sustainable coastal management and
finance.
"By linking physical and environmental risks with climate
perils, we can enable proactive risk management and continuous
monitoring," said Paige
Roepers, CEO of Ocean Ledger.
Industry Engagements & Future Expansion
