Trusted By
“I don’t believe we would have successfully raised our Series A without Planetary Scale. Calling them a fractional CFO feels like a disservice because what they offer and deliver goes far beyond that title. I can’t recommend them enough.”
"Planetary has been a critical component of our ability to scale as a climate-tech startup. As a technical founder, my relentless focus needs to be on developing and selling excellent product. By coming in as an integrated and expert member of the team, PS has freed me up for doing what I do best. Would highly recommend!"
