Impact quantification platform measuring company net effect across stakeholders
Upright builds a science-backed impact database covering 10,000+ companies, sold primarily to institutional investors and large enterprises seeking transparent, data-driven ESG assessment. The hiring mix—senior-heavy with a 3:2 sales-to-engineering ratio—reflects a business-development phase targeting investor-sector revenue growth rather than rapid product scaling. Active projects around self-serve SaaS, ML microservices, and analytics infrastructure suggest a shift from consulting-model impact data toward productized, scalable delivery.
