Validere
Validere (legally Validere Technologies Inc.) is a SaaS platform purpose-built for the energy industry, focused on measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of emissions and operational data across the energy supply chain. The platform unifies operational data for emissions management, environmental health & safety (EHS) compliance, and asset management - replacing fragmented spreadsheets and manual workflows with automated, auditable processes. Trusted by 50+ North American energy companies including ConocoPhillips, Repsol, Pembina Pipeline, Matador Resources, Crescent Energy, and others, Validere serves oil and gas producers, midstream operators, refineries, utilities, and other asset-heavy industrial businesses.
Validere's technology stack combines purpose-built regulatory workflow templates, automated data ingestion (via open APIs connecting to SCADA, ERPs, and data warehouses), pre-built calculation engines, and AI-powered tools that handle tasks like mapping messy incoming data, surfacing anomalies, summarizing regulatory reports, and recommending next actions. Its flagship Emissions Management Platform enables one-click regulatory exports, real-time emissions quantification, and scenario modeling for capital projects. Customers report 80% less time spent on annual emissions reports and 45% faster field inspections. In 2025, Validere launched "Validere Intelligence," its AI product suite, and released Validere 6.0 with enhanced mobile field capabilities.
Validere is strategically significant to the US and North American energy supply chain as regulatory pressure around methane emissions, EPA compliance, and ESG reporting intensifies. By providing a single, auditable source of truth for emissions and operational data, Validere helps energy companies meet evolving federal and state environmental mandates (including EPA and SEC disclosure requirements), reduce compliance overhead, and optimize field and back-office workflows. Its backing from major energy-adjacent investors like BlackRock and commodity trader Mercuria underscores its importance as critical infrastructure for the energy sector's data and compliance layer.

Validere has completed 7 funding rounds, including a Series A and a Series B. The Series B was led by BlackRock and Mercuria (energy commodity trader) with 8 total investors.
