Mission statement: “To make the first mile of every value chain visible to every decision that depends on it” – de-commoditizing supply chains through first-mile data.

First-Mile Data Layer (API Suite): A set of APIs that normalize messy supplier data, validate facilities and plots, generate sourcing intelligence, and produce compliance-ready outputs (EUDR deforestation checks, DDS submission, carbon, water, biodiversity metrics). No new supplier questionnaires required.
Satellite Boundary Detection & Supply Shed Generation: Automatically creates plot-level data using satellite imagery and geospatial models when suppliers provide no location data.
Platform Partner Integrations: Epoch’s API powers platforms like Sphera, Assent, and others, enabling them to offer first-mile insights to their own customers.

API-first, no-new-questionnaire approach: Integrates with existing supply chain platforms (Coupa, SAP Ariba, Ivalua) without requiring suppliers to fill additional forms.
Geospatial foundational models: Uses over a billion training data points and satellite data to deliver accurate, automated first-mile intelligence.
Comprehensive compliance coverage: Handles EUDR deforestation, carbon emissions, water, and biodiversity metrics out of the box.
Small, high-output team: Direct ownership, minimal bureaucracy, and direct work with founders.

Completing SOC 2 examination and maintaining ISO 27001 certification to deepen trust with enterprise customers.
Scaling the engineering team (hiring Senior Full Stack Engineer and Senior Solutions Engineer) to build out platform capabilities and customer integrations.
Expanding customer base among agri-commodity brands and compliance platforms, with a particular focus on the EUDR regulation.
