Our Team
Since the beginning, NCX has been dedicated to the idea of measuring and paying for natural capital. NCX’s technology has been used by large institutional landowners, corporate carbon credit purchasers, project developers, certification bodies, and forestry professionals to quantify and transact on natural capital.
NCX founders Zack Parisa and Max Nova started the company in 2010. Initially, the focus was on commercializing a satellite-based forest measurement technology that Zack had invented at the Yale School of Forestry. Over the years, the NCX team has grown to include foresters, software engineers, data experts, and a support team dedicated to helping landowners make informed and confident decisions about their natural capital portfolios.
