Unwritten is a London-based climate tech startup founded in 2022 that builds a data-driven platform for detecting, reporting, and managing climate risks in financial portfolios and operations[1][2][5]. It serves investors (private and public markets), enterprises, and advisors by modeling climate impacts on cash flows, enabling regulatory compliance like TCFD and IFRS S2 disclosures, climate due diligence, and strategic planning to mitigate transition risks[1][2][5]. The platform solves the problem of integrating complex climate data—such as regional climates, policies, sectors, and technologies—into financial decision-making, helping users avoid capital misallocation amid growing ESG mandates and $50 trillion in global sustainable AUM[2]. Unwritten has raised $4.35M total, including a $3.5M Seed VC round in early 2025 led by Connect Ventures, showing strong growth momentum with recent awards like PEWire's ESG Solution Provider of the Year (2025)[1][3][4][5].
Unwritten, formerly Dovetail Finance, was founded in 2022 by co-founders Amos Wittenberg (CEO) and Philip, who previously built Palantir Technologies' ESG practice, honing expertise in big data analytics for high-stakes analysis like espionage[2][3][4]. Their backgrounds in processing complex frameworks and financial industry insights sparked the idea to apply similar system-level thinking to climate transition risks, demystifying impacts for investors and firms[2]. Early traction came via £750k/$922k pre-seed funding, followed by the pivotal $3.5M Seed round about three months ago (as of mid-2025), backed by climate-focused VCs like Planet A Ventures, Connect Ventures, Sand River, Adapt Nation Capital, and angels, fueling platform refinement[1][3][4].
Unwritten rides the climate transition risk wave, where regulations like TCFD, CSRD, and IFRS S2 mandate disclosures, and $50T in ESG assets demand actionable insights to prevent misallocated capital and enhance financial stability[2][5]. Timing is ideal amid ECB/FSOC warnings on transition risks, with market forces like rising insurance costs and sustainable taxonomies favoring tools that "climate-proof" assets[2]. It influences the ecosystem by enabling better capital flows to low-risk pathways, aiding policymakers, investors, and firms in shaping sustainable transitions while competing in fintech's climate intelligence niche[1][2][3].
Unwritten is poised to scale its platform with recent seed capital, targeting expanded analytics for private markets, corporates, and advisors amid intensifying global regulations and AI-driven risk modeling trends[1][3][4][5]. Expect deeper integrations with portfolio management systems and real-time scenario tools, potentially capturing more of the $50T ESG market as climate events accelerate demands for precise financial analytics[2]. Its evolution from Palantir roots to award-winning climate fintech positions it to lead in avoiding transition pitfalls, empowering smarter capital allocation to build a resilient economy[2][5].
