Watershed is an enterprise climate platform that helps companies measure, reduce, report, and remove greenhouse gas emissions with audit-ready data. Founded in 2019 in San Francisco by former Stripe colleagues Taylor Francis, Avi Itskovich, and Christian Anderson, Watershed was built for the reality that most corporate climate programs drown in spreadsheets long before they bend emissions curves.
The platform ingests operational and supply-chain data, calculates footprints across scopes, and equips sustainability and finance teams to set reduction plans, engage suppliers, procure clean energy, and purchase carbon removal, then disclose with confidence to frameworks customers and regulators care about. Watershed has been recognized by independent analysts for carbon management software leadership and by CDP as an accredited software solutions provider.
Watershed’s north-star ambition is accelerating a “climate economy” where sustainability is a data-driven part of running the business — with a stated long-term goal of enabling massive emissions reductions and removals by 2030.

Latest News and Funding Rounds
Watershed’s impact is leverage: better measurement and decision tools help large enterprises cut real emissions across operations and suppliers. The company monetizes software and services; climate outcomes scale with customer carbon under management that is actively reduced or removed, not merely reported.
Raised $100M Series C (2024) at a $1.8B valuation after earlier rounds with Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, and others (total well into nine figures). Customers have included major tech and consumer brands; public milestones include tens of millions of metric tons of CO₂ under management as the platform scaled.
