Entelligent scales climate-risk tools after capital conversion, fundraising round

BOULDER — Boulder-based Entelligent Inc. is expanding its climate-risk analytics platform after the November 2025 launch of a new credit-risk product and fundraising round that also converted previously issued notes.

Entelligent, which operates at 4845 Pearl East Circle, Suite 101, in Boulder,  analyzes how shifting energy production and consumption patterns could affect corporate performance, asset values and credit risk as the global economy transitions toward lower-carbon energy systems.

A November 2025 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shows Entelligent as having secured approximately $10.25 million in capital. CEO Pooja Khosla said the figure reflects a combination of fundraising and the conversion of previously issued convertible notes into Series AA preferred shares.

The company raised more than $2 million in new capital as part of the first close of its Series AA round, which remains open and is authorized for up to $3 million.

“To speed up our growth we are also interested in opening a $7 million to $10 million AAA extension to our A round, around Q1 of 2026, and we are looking for a strategic lead investor who can help us accelerate expansion,” Khosla said.

Institutional investors have included Société Générale, Lingfeng Capital, Wexford Capital Partners and North Base Media.

Khosla said the company’s growth reflects a broader shift underway in financial markets, as energy transition risk moves from the margins of ESG analysis into the core of credit, investment, and balance-sheet decision-making.

ESG refers to environmental, social, and governance criteria that investors use to evaluate corporate behavior, often separately from traditional credit or earnings analysis.

“Energy transition is real, and energy transition is now,” Khosla said. “Every company either produces or consumes energy, and that means every sector is exposed.”

Credit-risk product moves climate risk into core finance

The newly launched product focuses on credit and loan portfolios, expanding Entelligent’s work beyond indexes and asset-management tools into fixed-income and lending markets. Offered as a subscription, the product is designed for credit and loan specialists who need to understand how energy transition could affect credit exposure over time.

Historically, Khosla said, most financial decisions have relied on backward-looking data. That approach is becoming less reliable as energy demand rises and the future mix of fossil fuels, renewables and nuclear power remains uncertain.

“In energy transition, I can’t sit and tell you how 2030, 2040 or 2050 will look,” she said. “We don’t know whether 30 or 50 or 60% of total energy production will be fossil fuels, renewables or nuclear. Because we don’t know, we have to test all possibilities to make decisions that are robust.”

Rather than predicting a single outcome, Entelligent’s platform runs multiple scenarios to stress-test assets, business models, and credit books under different potential futures. Entelligent evaluates approximately 40,000 publicly traded companies worldwide.

Khosla said Entelligent uses AI to process large datasets more efficiently but emphasized that AI does not replace validated climate models or financial analysis.

One of the forces accelerating demand for forward-looking risk tools is the rapid growth in electricity consumption, particularly from data centers supporting AI and cloud computing.

“Data centers have put a lot of pressure on the grid right now,” she said. “Global electricity usage from data centers may double or more by 2028. In the next five years, we will be adding power demand equivalent to the size of a country like Japan.”

That surge complicates the energy transition, she said, because economies must simultaneously meet rising demand while reducing fossil-fuel consumption.

A key concern for investors, Khosla said, is the growing risk of stranded assets, investments that lose value earlier than expected because they become uneconomic to operate.

In the context of energy transition, stranded assets can include power plants, infrastructure or industrial facilities that are no longer profitable due to rising energy costs, regulatory changes or new technologies.

“This is not just about energy companies,” Khosla said. “It flows through credit models, insurance companies, asset managers, portfolio managers. Everybody needs to prepare for what the future holds.”

 Company products and growth

Proceeds from the capital raise are being directed toward company expansion. The company’s team is currently weighted toward product and technology roles, with plans to hire in marketing, sales and regional go-to-market roles to support growth.

In addition to its credit-risk product, Entelligent offers energy-resilient equity indexes developed for banks and asset managers. One such product, created in partnership with Société Générale, covers approximately $450 million in assets under management, Khosla said.

The company also offers licensing and revenue-sharing arrangements with partners that embed Entelligent’s analytics into broader financial platforms.

Entelligent recently expanded its board, adding Amy Minnick and Ming Shu. Minnick is the chief business officer for Cape Analytics, served as the inaugural president of the World Geospatial Industry Council, and has experience in information services, energy analytics and satellite data. Shu is the founding partner at Lingfeng Capital and has led capital raising and partnerships across fintech and high-tech firms in the Asia-Pacific and Middle Eastern markets.

Khosla added that Entelligent’s broader mission aligns with climate mitigation, even though the company does not directly score companies based solely on carbon emissions.

“When investors use our data, they’re identifying companies that are more resilient in a volatile energy future,” Khosla said. “Those companies are often the ones taking action today to reduce carbon and adapt. When decarbonization aligns with stable future profits, those actions accelerate.”
