Emmi provides financed emissions data and climate risk analysis across all major public and private asset classes. These support climate-related reporting, and analysis that feeds into investment management processes.
We use proprietary machine-learning models and algorithms to do this. Our tools translate emissions into financial implications, based on climate and pricing scenarios. This gives our clients actionable insights about their carbon
exposure.
This diagnostics ‘toolkit’ is backed by our team of climate and finance experts.
Emmi believes that a low carbon economy is possible, and that properly incentivising and mobilising capital is the fastest and most cost-effective way to reach Net Zero and beyond.
Incorporating the cost of carbon into every decision will enable the finance sector, and its customers, to efficiently allocate resources towards this goal, which will accelerate decarbonisation.
To achieve this, and to meet regulatory requirements, there is a need for a broad spectrum of quality carbon emissions data and climate risk analysis. We have built Emmi to solve that problem.

Co-founders Charlie Henderson and Lucas Wurfbain first devised the idea for Relata whilst getting frustrated with the ineffective relationships in capital markets and investment management. They saw first hand how the market shifted from small tight-knit networks to larger but weaker ones, and became increasingly frustrated with the results of the shift. While on the hunt for a technology that generated high-performance insights that matched a companys financial insights, they soon realised that no such thing existed.
So the duo set to work on creating the solution. Since then, we’ve built the AI-powered Relata platform with real-time data capture at its core. Our insight-first approach provides intelligence that frees sales teams from gut-based decisions. That way, you don’t target the wrong people, take the wrong next action, and miss vital growth opportunities.
A few years later and we’ve grown the Relata team to over 20 ambitious individuals, opened offices in London, and massively advanced our state-of-the-art platform. But our core mission remains the same – to bring science to the art of relationship building, creating the best experiences for both customers and teams.

We find, fund and support the best entrepreneurs solving real problems for financial institutions.
Building an enterprise software company and selling solutions into financial institutions is hard.
Large financial firms know they need to adopt new technology solutions to remain competitive and compliant, but they struggle to filter and identify the best companies that are fit for purpose.
Bridging this gap requires more than just patient capital to help with this challenge.
It needs the support of a trusted partner who can help make the right introductions to the right people at the right time.
At Illuminate, our deep networks and partnerships with key industry participants across banks, infrastructure providers, asset & wealth managers, exchanges and established vendors allow us to gain real insight into what the industry needs and help portfolio companies achieve their full potential.
We understand the challenges founders face. We have been the entrepreneur, the vendor, the industry executive and the end consumer.
We are an independent sector specialist investor.
