01 — Overview

What Proof does

Family offices and funds increasingly face LP pressure to demonstrate sustainability credentials, but most lack the internal infrastructure to collect, clean, and report credible ESG data without significant manual effort. Proof addresses this by combining expert advisory services with automated data procurement and a business intelligence platform, positioning itself as an alternative to either hiring dedicated sustainability staff or relying on rigid standalone software.

For investment teams, the investor-specific offering focuses on portfolio-level sustainability oversight, LP reporting transparency, and risk identification across holdings. The platform organizes sustainability work into three tiers:

  • Baseline: benchmarking against peer companies using real-time private company data
  • Insights: time-series analytics with actionable recommendations tied to financial outcomes
  • Outcomes: reporting dashboards designed for use in capital raising and regulatory disclosure

Proof operates across the United States, Europe, and Africa, with explicit coverage of CSRD, EU Taxonomy, double materiality, and emerging US climate disclosure requirements. The model is built around reducing the cost of sustainability execution by replacing spreadsheet-driven processes with structured workflows and automated data collection from across portfolios, suppliers, and operating systems.

Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the service appears to require a direct engagement conversation before any scoping occurs. Family offices with no existing sustainability mandate or LP reporting obligation may find the offering premature for their stage. Those already under regulatory or LP pressure to demonstrate ESG rigor, particularly across multi-jurisdiction or multi-portfolio structures, are the clearest fit.
