About
BeFC is a cleantech company developing enzyme-based biodegradable sensor products, with a product previously proven in European logistics and shipping. The company entered Canada targeting high-value agriculture, where its compostable soil sensor technology showed strong fit for soil health monitoring in organic vineyards and other precision-agriculture settings.

ClimateDoor helped BeFC expand from logistics into agriculture in Canada by identifying the right target segment, building a qualified lead list, and securing an initial winery pilot.
Dr. Jules HAMMOND
Founder & CEO
BeFC developed enzyme-based biodegradable sensor products with proven traction in European logistics and shipping. The challenge was entering the Canadian market with a practical new use case, identifying the right commercial targets, and securing non-dilutive funding to support initial traction.
ClimateDoor identified high-value agriculture as the strongest Canadian expansion pathway for BeFC's compostable sensor technology. We built a 100-account lead list, narrowed the target market toward organic wineries, matched BeFC with Elephant Island Winery for a real-world pilot, and helped align the opportunity with government funding.
BeFC entered the Canadian market with a live pilot, a clearer agriculture use case beyond logistics, and $50,000 in government funding secured to support continued development.

ClimateDoor works with a small number of founders each year on capital strategy, investor narrative, and climate impact quantification.
