Our story

The Origins of Tree.ly

Find out how Tree.ly came to be. How an avid tech-entrepreneur discovered his true purpose. Merging his passion for technology and entrepreneurship to combat climate change.

The initial spark

Finding Purpose in the Woods

Despite having just finished a successful business trip to San Francisco with his previous company, Tree.ly CEO Jodok Batlogg felt an emptiness inside of him. Seeking solace in the woods, he asked himself: What can I pass on to my kids? How am I leaving this planet? During this time of reflection he discovered the immense potential of forests and decided to use his passion for technology and entrepreneurship to build an impactful, scalable company that combats climate change with the help of forests.

Forest Potential Unlocked

The Forest's Untapped Potential

Through the use of photosynthesis forests store and absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere. They are key to a sustainable future. Jodok's time in the woods illuminated their role in carbon storage and the need to establish climate-resilient forests. Contributing to Tree.ly's climate protection projects allows companies to support forest owners in their effort to build climate-resilient forests and demonstrate their focus on a sustainable way of working. If we are to make the most of forests' vast potentials - which is ultimately our mission at Tree.ly - a timely adaptation and mitigation is essential.
