Traction & MoatUpdated 2026-06-04
Traction & Proof-Points
Honest status: pre-product / pre-revenue. But the hard-to-get assets — land, institutional access, and a complete model — are already in hand.
In hand today ✅
- Owned 90,000-ha forest concession (AWAKEN Management S.A.C.) — the proving ground for ROOT and the first own-credit asset.
- Institutional agreements across Peru — signed MoUs/convenios with MINAM (environment ministry), SERNANP (protected areas), SERFOR (forestry), GOREL (Loreto regional government), and CCPIP (indigenous chamber of commerce).
- GOREL expansion pathway — memorandum referencing a regional conservation-area network (~2.5M ha) for replication (good-faith framework, not yet a financing commitment).
- CCPIP indigenous partnership — signed MoU opening an indigenous-territory pathway (hectare scope to be formalized).
- Singapore Article 6.2 — Notice of Intent submitted.
- TERI — the affiliated science NGO providing methodology, validation and grant-eligibility.
- ~20 years of Peruvian government ecosystem data — access in-kind via the institutional agreements (integration in process).
- Complete product, cost, business and financial model — fully built (in this data room).
In process / early-stage (stated honestly)
- ROOT — to be built (pre-seed POC → seed full build).
- NVIDIA Earth-2 / Helsinki — early conversations only, no deliverables yet.
- 1 USPTO patent — in process.
- First paying customers — pre-seed objective.
Why this is the real traction
For a nature-data company, the binding constraints are land and permission — not code. CeibaQ already holds the concession and the institutional access that competitors would need years of local relationship-building to obtain. That is the moat's foundation, in hand today.
