TrackZero raises £500k pre-seed to help firms measure supply-chain emissions with AI
This article covers TrackZero, a greentech startup, raising £500k in a pre-seed funding round from local angel investors to accelerate product development and expand its AI capabilities for supply-chain carbon measurement. The development aims to support organisations seeking reliable Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data and to help procurement teams and firms addressing tighter sustainability reporting requirements.
TrackZero, a greentech startup, has raised £500,000 in a pre-seed funding round from local angel investors to accelerate product development — including expanding its AI capabilities — and to push deeper into supply-chain carbon measurement. The cash injection comes as mandatory sustainability reporting tightens across the UK and beyond, increasing demand for reliable emissions data.
Why it matters
Companies are under growing pressure to report and reduce emissions, and Scope 3 — emissions in a company’s supply chain — is the most difficult to measure. TrackZero’s offering aims to reduce that friction by helping organisations collect and verify emissions data from suppliers and produce reporting aligned with recognised standards such as the GHG Protocol. For procurement teams and firms bidding for contracts, credible emissions data can increasingly influence decision-making.
This round also highlights the role of regional hubs in climate technology: TrackZero is headquartered in Milton Keynes within the Oxford–Cambridge Growth Corridor, a corridor that is attracting startups and investors focused on greentech solutions.
Inside the product
TrackZero provides software to measure emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3. The platform focuses on supplier engagement to obtain primary emissions data rather than relying solely on secondary estimates, and it produces outputs compatible with established frameworks to support corporate reporting and procurement workflows.
The startup says the funding will be used to speed up product development and expand AI features — presumably to automate data ingestion, estimation and supplier outreach at scale — although specifics on feature roll-outs or timelines were not provided.
Who are the investors?
The round was backed by local angel investors; no lead investor or institutional backers were named in the announcement. The group’s decision to fund TrackZero follows the startup’s two years of organic growth, during which it onboarded more than 160 organisations, secured a Fortune 500 enterprise customer and built a partner distribution network. Those early commercial signs appear to have been sufficient for local angels to support a next phase of development focused on product and AI capabilities.

Founder perspective
In the announcement, Alan Wilson, CEO at TrackZero, said:
Businesses need a practical way to measure emissions across their operations and supply chains without creating huge administrative overhead. Our focus is on making carbon accounting simple, accurate and actionable. What we’re seeing now is carbon data moving beyond compliance, into a competitive advantage. Being able to provide credible emissions data is increasingly shaping procurement decisions, tender outcomes and supply chain relationships. This investment allows us to accelerate what we’ve been building over the past two years.
The bigger picture
TrackZero’s raise reflects a wider push for tools that can make Scope 3 reporting feasible for more organisations. As regulations and voluntary reporting standards evolve in the UK and EU, demand for software that can combine supplier engagement, standard-aligned reporting and automated data processing is likely to grow. The involvement of local angels also underscores investor interest in regionally based greentech startups that can serve both domestic and multinational customers.
As the UK and European policy environment continues to tighten on corporate sustainability reporting, expect more early-stage funding for companies that can turn fragmented supply-chain data into actionable emissions intelligence.
