We believe every event should leave the world better than it found it.
Envire is building the infrastructure for a sustainable events industry — one venue, one event, one data point at a time.
Cutting 10% of Global Carbon Emissions
The events industry generates an estimated 10% of global CO2 emissions. That's a staggering number — and a massive opportunity for change.
Every year, millions of events take place across the globe — conferences, festivals, trade shows, corporate gatherings. Each one consumes energy, generates waste, and leaves a carbon footprint that's rarely measured and almost never reported.
The problem isn't indifference. Event organizers and venue operators care deeply about sustainability. The problem is data. Without accurate, real-time sustainability metrics, it's impossible to make informed decisions or track genuine progress.
Envire exists to solve this problem. We automate the collection of venue sustainability data — energy consumption, water usage, waste management, transportation impact — and transform it into actionable, event-specific impact reports.
Our platform empowers venues and organizers with the intelligence they need to reduce emissions, meet ESG targets, and demonstrate measurable environmental impact to stakeholders.
From Idea to Impact
The milestones that have shaped Envire's journey to transform the events industry.
Founded in San Francisco
Envire was born from a simple observation: the events industry had a massive carbon footprint and zero infrastructure to measure it. Our founders left careers in climate tech and data engineering to build the solution.
- Incorporated in Delaware
- Seed funding secured
- Core team of 5 assembled
First Venue Partnerships & Beta Launch
We partnered with pioneering venues in the Bay Area to pilot our data collection platform. The beta launch validated our thesis — venues were hungry for automated sustainability intelligence.
- 12 beta venue partners
- Platform beta launched
- First impact reports delivered
500+ Venues Onboarded & Series A
Word spread fast. In just one year, we grew from 12 beta partners to over 500 venues across North America. Our Series A funding accelerated product development and team growth.
- 500+ venues onboarded
- $18M Series A raised
- Team grew to 45 people
International Expansion & AI-Powered Features
Today, Envire is expanding globally with AI-powered predictive analytics, automated compliance reporting, and real-time sustainability dashboards that are setting a new standard for the industry.
