Soil Truth, From Orbit: AI & Tech DD for Seqana's €3.2M Round

January 1, 2026

Soil Truth, From Orbit

Seqana quantifies soil health with satellite imagery and machine learning — monitoring, reporting and verification for the ground beneath regenerative agriculture. Before Pymwymic led the €3.2M round, PHILIPPS & BYRNE examined the models, the geodata pipelines and the science behind the product.

  • Assessment: 2026

The Deal

Soil carbon markets live or die on measurement you can trust. Seqana’s answer is digital MRV — monitoring, reporting and verification of soil health from satellite imagery, machine learning and ground-truth data. Pymwymic led the €3.2M round, joined by existing investors HTGF and Counteract, to extend measurement beyond carbon to broader soil health.

For a business whose product is scientific credibility, the DD question is sharp: do the models measure what the market needs them to measure — and can the platform industrialize that?

Assessment Angles

  • ML models — how soil predictions are built and — crucially — validated against ground truth.
  • Geodata pipelines — satellite data ingestion, processing and quality control at scale.
  • Scientific defensibility — alignment with MRV standards and the verification bodies the market answers to.
  • Platform & scalability — from project-based analysis toward a repeatable product.
  • Team — earth-observation science plus engineering capabilities.
  • Roadmap credibility — does the expansion plan match the platform’s capabilities?

What the Target Takes Away

The Seqana team received a candid, engineering-level readout alongside the investor report — an outside view on models, pipelines and roadmap.

About Seqana

Berlin-based Seqana provides digital MRV for soil: quantifying soil carbon and soil health using satellite imagery and machine learning, for agriculture, food supply chains and carbon markets.
