About Vibrant Planet
We are a team of leaders in science, forestry, policy, and tech, building a cloud-based, data-driven platform to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration and reduce catastrophic wildfire, tree mortality, forest degradation, and deforestation. Our current software modernizes land management planning and monitoring with AI-driven data development, user-friendly scenario building and decision support, and forest resilience trends and treatment outcome detection. The system quantifies potential and actual treatment benefits, helping to grow markets for ecosystem services (carbon, water, biodiversity, sustainable forest-derived products).
Our initial platform (launched in September 2021) is focused on temperate, “fire-adapted” landscapes in California and the Western US. Our mission is global; our roadmap expands into other geographies and forest types accordingly.
Driven by our sense of urgency to protect vital forests and the services they provide, we use our expertise to build sophisticated, AI/ML-driven, user friendly products to democratize the use of data and accelerate the process of stabilizing and restoring our forests.
Vibrant Planet is backed by climate and ecosystem resilience solutions leaders, including Grantham Foundation, Earthshot, Elemental Excelerator, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Chris Cox (CPO at FB), Neil Hunt (ex-CPO of Netflix), Cisco, Valia Ventures, and Halogen Ventures.
