Equity Analyst - Net Zero Transition

Zerolytics is co-founded and led by the two serial entrepreneurs Per-Otto Wold (CEO) and Atle Christiansen (CPO). They have a proven track record from the start-up scene, having previously built several successful companies such as Point Carbon, the leading provider of critical insights into global carbon and energy markets. Their latest venture, Zerolytics, established in 2022, has quickly gained substantial interest from seasoned investors and progressive companies. While still in its early stages, the company has assembled a team of 12 employees and is experiencing rapid growth, attracting top talents from diverse backgrounds.

Zerolytics is developing a comprehensive data and analytics platform that empowers investors and companies to assess the credibility of net zero transition plans. Unlike existing methods and tools, our approach takes into account both business decisions and investments, leveraging structured and unstructured data. Our team builds a world-class product that enables understanding, monitoring, and forecasting of financial cash flows, physical assets, and greenhouse gas emissions. By translating data and analytics into actionable insights, we empower investors to make climate-conscious investment decisions that enhance long-term, risk-adjusted returns. We are planning to conduct a closed test of the minimum viable product (MVP) this summer, with a full-scale launch scheduled for 2024.
