Gorilla Capital Fund III 23rd investment is DataFarm

In today’s business landscape, SMEs are caught in a challenging position. While demands for ESG transparency are rapidly increasing from all directions, these companies simply don’t have the extensive resources, time, or expertise that larger corporations can dedicate to sustainability reporting. The gap between stakeholder expectations and SMEs’ reporting capabilities continues to widen.

Enter Data Farm esgPlatform – a powerful, data-driven solution that transforms how SMEs, sustainability consultants, and financial institutions handle sustainability reporting. The platform’s key innovation lies in its modular structure, enabling organizations to utilize their sustainability data efficiently across multiple reporting frameworks and stakeholder needs. Once stored on the platform, sustainability data becomes a strategic asset that drives value across all reporting requirements without redundant data entry.

Through its sophisticated combination of comprehensive data management and adaptable reporting tools, Data Farm esgPlatform bridges the gap between investor-grade reporting demands and SMEs’ practical constraints. The platform’s modular architecture makes it possible to generate different types of sustainability reports from a single, centralized data source – seamlessly serving regulatory compliance, investor communications, and internal decision-making needs. This breakthrough approach lets organizations focus on what truly matters – advancing their strategic sustainability initiatives – while maintaining consistent, professional-grade reporting across all stakeholder requirements.

“This investment from Gorilla Capital validates our mission to make professional-grade sustainability reporting accessible to SMEs. The market need is clear – companies of all sizes need robust ESG data management, but until now, the solutions have been out of reach for most. With Gorilla Capital’s strategic support, we can accelerate our growth and help more businesses turn their sustainability data into strategic advantage,” says Mika Jokiranta, CEO of Data Farm Ltd.

“Data Farm’s platform addresses a critical gap in the market. While ESG reporting requirements are rapidly increasing for businesses of all sizes, the available solutions have mainly served large enterprises. We see significant potential in Data Farm’s approach of making sophisticated sustainability reporting accessible and manageable for SMEs. Their modular platform enables companies to efficiently meet various stakeholder requirements with a single data foundation – this is exactly the kind of practical innovation the market needs,” says Risto Rautakorpi, Partner at Gorilla Capital.
