Investor brief · 2026

Know the value of things —
not just the price.

Your daily choices, aligned with your values.

Scan. Compare. Decide by what matters.
A values-based guide to products, services & places.
Semo is a transparency tool that works without company influence.
Semo Data B.V.
The problem

You know your values,
but your purchases don’t reflect them.

A wall of competing certification labels
Semo offers one single source of truth.Your truth.
The solution

Scan it. See the real value.

Radical transparency across four pillars.

Ecology
Health
Social
Transparency
One clear score— from −100 (degenerative) to +100 (regenerative).
−100 degenerative0+100 regenerative

Verified data always scores better — revealing hidden information becomes rewarding for sellers. Scores fuse Open Food Facts, crowd-verified input, AI fill, live supply-chain data and more — integrating public information from labels (Nutri-Score, Fairtrade, FSC, EU Ecolabel, MSC…) beyond their badge.

Business model

A paid consumer core, usage-based B2B on top

The free app converts to a paid subscription — our first revenue stream. The data it generates then powers three usage-based B2B engines.

First priority · Consumer premium (B2C)
€3/ mo

The free app’s paid tier — our first and fastest income stream.

Then three B2B engines, powered by the data the app already generates:

API access
Developers → Enterprises
Programmatic access to Semo’s scores & data.
Brand features
Brands → Retailers
Badging, placement and shelf visibility.
Data insights
NGOs → Policy & finance
Datasets & analysis on real consumption.
Where the revenue goes

This revenue model serves 100% to bootstrap the broader vision of Semo — the economic database, the coin and the collectively owned economy it unlocks. Read the Semo story →
