Cecil exists to help teams restore nature. Sharing thoughts on nature as an asset class, environmental markets & our growing nature-tech category is part of that journey.
Cecil’s Jo Tay shares why storytelling can help teams uncover solutions to save our natural world.
In 1848, a carpenter named James Marshall was building a sawmill near the Sacramento River in eastern USA when he noticed traces of a shiny metal in the mill’s water wheel. And so begun the California Gold Rush. In the 7 years that followed, over 300,000 people from all over the world, known as “forty-niners” (a reference to 1849, the peak year for the Rush), flocked to the region to get in on the act.
Knowledge is power, and today’s knowledge is data. But to unlock data’s true power in scaling nature restoration, teams must first figure out how to collect, process, and distribute it. We share some of the data management solutions that can help you scale your nature restoration business.
As more NBS projects are finding appropriate levels of scale, private investors are beginning to take notice and allocate capital towards to these projects.

Eezu Tan, Product Manager at Cecil reflects on our first retreat together as a founding team.
We are building in public to share our learnings on the topic of 0 to 1 product building in climate tech. By chronicling our successes and failures we hope to inspire other teams to join in and build solutions for our climate and nature crises.
It's been 4 months since we launched our natural capital platform with 100 projects. We've since grown that number by 10x and are proud to have over 1,000+ projects managed on Cecil.
We're delighted to announce the soft launch of the Cecil platform! 🚀 After 3.5 months of exploratory interviews, rapid prototypes and late night calls with carbon project developers from Madagascar to Mackay, we've released the first version of Cecil with our customers!
Teams need to know what change they are going to make in this world. 5 timezones, 2 workshops and 1 giant cup of coffee later, we refined a purpose and set of core values that we all believe in.
The team has been hard at work, laying strong foundations for the future of this product-centric company. We've kicked off our build phase in true 2021 style, with a diverse, global & fully remote engineering and design team.
