Traction & Evidence to Date

The honest status is plain: CeibaQ is pre-product and pre-revenue. But for a nature-data company the binding constraint is not code, it is land and permission, and those are the assets already in hand. What follows is the evidence — the hard-to-get foundation a better-funded competitor would need years of local relationship-building to assemble.

Land and institutional access

This is the part that cannot be bought quickly, and it is secured.

An owned conservation concession of roughly 90,000 hectares, granted for 40 years in the Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo area through AWAKEN Management. It borders the protected indigenous (PIACI) zone, which is excluded from the usable area.
A signed memorandum with the regional government of Loreto (GOREL), the Peruvian region that accounts for about 52% of the country's carbon-credit and nature-finance activity. Its scope is the concession plus 402,000 hectares of the Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo reserve, with an option to scale to about 2.48 million hectares across all five Regional Conservation Areas of Loreto, contingent on pilot success.
A signed memorandum with the Indigenous Chamber of Commerce of Peru (CCPIP), the community benefit-sharing framework.
Signed memoranda with Peru's environmental institutions — the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM), the National Forest and Wildlife Service (SERFOR), and the Agency for the Supervision of Forest Resources and Wildlife (OSINFOR) — with access to about 20 years of Peruvian government ecosystem data in-kind through these agreements, integration in process.
Scientific-cooperation and data-sharing memoranda with the National University of the Peruvian Amazon (UNAP) and the Research Institute of the Peruvian Amazon (IIAP), alongside the company's own research institute, TERI.

Corporate, legal and fiscal standing

Three entities are registered — the data company (AWAKEN AI), the concession company (AWAKEN Management) and the research institute (TERI) — in the firewall structure set out in Corporate Structure.
One United States patent application is pending, on the digital measurement architecture.
The Amazon tax status is in place. The Peruvian operating entities qualify under the Amazon Investment Promotion Law (Law 27037), in force through 2048: a reduced 5% corporate income tax against the 29.5% standard, and zero import duties on machinery and electronics.

Capital and operating history

A Friends and Family round is closed — a total project formation value of $622,125 ($149,900 of founder cash carried as a loan, and $472,225 of in-kind expert contributions at fair value).
Twenty-two months of operating history, from August 2024 to May 2026.
The senior team is in place, with more than ten R&D specialists in Peru, and the reserved-equity roles open, as set out in Team & Governance.

Product and model

The MVP is designed and deployment-ready, with the AI architecture specified, the hardware for the first sensor node procured, and the field infrastructure prepared (solar power, team workspace, field laboratory, security). A 3D model of the product is ready. This is design and coverage, not deployment at scale.
A complete financial model is built — the 23-sheet investor pack, running the full chain through to EBITDA, cash-flow and valuation. The figures are in Financials and The Deal.

Partnerships and pathways

A signed memorandum with SKYETON for the long-endurance drones that fly the aerial measurement.
Early-stage conversations with NVIDIA Earth-2 on data exchange and satellite-imagery access. This is an early conversation, not a formalized partnership.
A Singapore Article 6.2 bilateral carbon pathway is in process, with a response expected on 30 June 2026.
Visibility at COP30, where the company presented at Peru's national pavilion in Belém in November 2025, alongside the environment ministry, with the founder there as an official government delegate.

The honest read

None of this is a signed contract for revenue, and we do not pretend otherwise: the company is pre-product and pre-revenue, the MVP is designed rather than deployed at scale, and the partnerships range from signed memoranda to one early conversation, with the Singapore pathway still in process. What is real is the part that takes years to assemble and is already done — the land, the institutional access and the complete model. What is ahead is the one thing the whole raise is built to reach: the first signed contract.
