Yayzy is a London-based climate tech company founded in 2019 that builds a mobile app and SaaS platform for tracking, understanding, and offsetting personal carbon footprints using bank transactions and rigorous scientific methods.[1][2] It initially targeted consumers (B2C) but pivoted to B2B, serving banks and FinTechs by integrating sustainability data into their apps, while also supporting sectors like transportation, eCommerce, and energy with emissions data and offsetting.[1][2] Yayzy solves the problem of inaccessible, accurate personal climate impact measurement, enabling users to reduce emissions through guidance, eco-friendly recommendations, and offsets; it raised over £625,000 via Seedrs crowdfunding from 865 investors, signaling strong early growth momentum.[3]
Yayzy was founded in 2019 in London by Mankaran and a team of experienced software engineers and financial experts passionate about sustainability.[2][4] The idea emerged from thorough research into consumer trends, climate reports, and surveys showing thousands of people wanted a carbon-tracking app, validating demand before development.[2] Early traction came from a B2C mobile app emphasizing security, privacy, and aesthetic UX to build trust for bank data access; pivotal moments included winning awards like Apple App of the Day and Product of the Year on ProductHunt, plus a business model shift to B2B SaaS for scalability, leading to key partnerships like IBM for security and cloud scalability.[2][3]
Yayzy rides the wave of climate fintech and sustainable banking, where consumers demand transparency on emissions amid rising ESG pressures and regulations like the EU's Green Deal.[1][2] Timing aligns with post-2019 climate awareness surges and fintech boom (e.g., rivals like Tomorrow or PLAN3T), amplified by market forces like cashback-for-sustainability apps and corporate net-zero goals.[1] It influences the ecosystem by enabling banks to offer "green" features, scaling individual action to millions via partnerships, and normalizing carbon tracking in daily finance.[2][3]
Yayzy's B2B pivot positions it for explosive growth in a $10B+ climate tech market, with expansions into more sectors and AI-enhanced predictions likely next.[1][2] Trends like mandatory emissions reporting and green fintech mandates will propel it, potentially evolving from tracker to full sustainability platform influencing how banks compete on climate credentials—building on its crowdfunding success to attract VC and global scale.[3] This cements Yayzy as a pioneer turning personal carbon data into systemic change.
