CarbonReceipt: Expense Carbon Footprint Tracker
Automatically calculates the carbon footprint of every business expense by category and vendor, helping freelancers and small teams meet ESG commitments without manual logging.
The Problem
Freelancers and small companies need to report carbon emissions for client contracts, investor requirements, or personal sustainability goals, but there's no easy way to link everyday expenses (flights, office supplies, meals) to their actual carbon impact. Manual calculation is tedious and inaccurate.
Target Audience
Freelancers, remote agencies, and small teams (<50 people) working with climate-conscious clients or VCs who require ESG reporting; also solo founders tracking personal carbon for public accountability.
Why Now?
EU Carbon Border Tax starts 2025, more VC funds require portfolio company ESG reports, and freelancers increasingly need to demonstrate sustainability to win contracts from conscious brands.
What's Missing
Existing carbon tools are enterprise-grade, expensive, and manual. Existing expense tracers (Expensify, Brex) don't calculate carbon. Freelancers have no fast way to convert receipts into ESG-credible carbon reports.
