Proposal in one sentence:
RAZ catalyzes decentralized economic opportunities
by providing collaborative ESG, sustainability, impact and investment data management solutions that enable the realization of verified outcomes
Description of the project and what problem is it solving:
A new, more conscious, generation of investors and stakeholders expects meaningful progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals alongside positive impact and ESG outcome realization.
By 2025, 1/3 of global assets under management, representing 53 trillion dollars, will be classified as “Sustainable” and “Environment, Social and Governance” investments.
Although regulations are emerging that mandate disclosures, self-reported data just isn’t enough anymore.
It’s time to raise the bar.
Our team is leveraging tangible, verified, technology-driven outcomes to catalyze capital for world-changing social and environmental innovation.
Through an equitable investment lens powered by blockchain technology, RAZ Finance is opening doors for efficient due diligence and increased investment liquidity.
Although capital inflows are changing the investment landscape, inadequate solutions exist to answer,
“how do investment strategies driven by ESG, sustainability and impact lead to economic benefit?”
and
“how do we know that positive change is being catalyzed by our capital”?
RAZ is being developed in response to both questions.
Through our network, investors, companies and their stakeholders verify data and claims from how capital is allocated, to how integrated financial, ESG and sustainability outcomes are realized alongside positive impact.
The Past
Transparency = Publication
The Future
Transparency = Stakeholder-Verified Data
RAZ substantiates commitment to:
Impact themes and metrics | ESG strategies | Sustainability targets and indicators
by tracking progress according to established frameworks
based on capital deployment decisions and the influence of outcomes on financial performance.
-
When a company uploads documentation and proof of their impact, stakeholders are engaged to verify data, document and track progress.
-
Data is captured across an unalterable timeline while stakeholders and verifiers influence outcomes in measurable, positive ways across the landscape of:
Capital Deployment | Impact | ESG | Sustainability | Financial Performance
stakeholder groups verify actions and results while they are still unfolding in alignment with
investor themes and strategies, best practices, standards and regulations.
For companies, investors and asset managers, the benefits of engaging with RAZ extend to:
- Tracking the influence of impact-driven capital deployment and decision-making on financial performance
- Stakeholder inclusion in the process of proving that meaningful progress is being realized
- Transparent, blockchain-based, impact verification, and the transformation of genuine outcomes into tradable assets
- Faster and more efficient due diligence
- Increased access to capital, investment liquidity and asset trade across a decentralized market for verified sustainable and impact investment opportunities.
| Challenges: Finance, Impact and ESG speak different languages | Solutions being developed by RAZ |
|---|---|
| ESG-related financial performance data is largely driven by public capital markets. The potential of impact, ESG and sustainability-driven investments is limited by a traditional focus on exponential growth and public market trading. Investors have limited liquidity in fast-moving private markets driven by increasingly conscious consumer demand. | The RAZ dashboard tracks data from companies at all stages of growth. Stakeholder-verified positive impact alongside financial data facilitates due diligence and investment through transparent, blockchain-enabled, transactions and smart contracts. Investor liquidity is strengthened by secure and tokenized data, leading to increased access to capital for mission-driven companies. |
| Across the venture capital and private equity space, there is limited data on how impact and ESG strategies lead to financial return.This results in trapped value and misaligned incentives between growth and impact. | Capital deployment towards the realization of Impact Themes is tracked from the onset of an initiative. Timelines related to impact, ESG and sustainability outcome realization are correlated to revenue, substantiating how decision-making influences financial performance. |
| Many investors are challenged by limited vetted, investable and impact-verified opportunities, high investment minimums, and low quality deal flow. Individuals, family offices and private or sovereign funds seeking to explore investing into ESG and impact-driven opportunities are hesitant and reluctant to take long term capital-intensive positions. | Datasets compiled by RAZ across shorter, project-based timelines, facilitate integrated impact-financial vetting and due diligence, leading to increased capital inflows. RAZ tracks how capital is allocated to ESG, sustainability and impact initiatives, while measuring the influence of outcome realization on financial performance. Near-term results across fixed timelines can be verified by all stakeholders. Dealflow is improved through collaboration between the RAZ network and ecosystem partners. |
| ESG and impact metrics are not universally standardized. A market need exists for the clear and transparent ranking of companies and investment opportunities. | Companies and initiatives can customize their chosen metrics and seamlessly report on integrated outcomes through a single SaaS platform. RAZ facilitates the indexing and ranking of company performance as part of its DeFi-driven impact, ESG and sustainable investment market. |
Grant Deliverables:
Grant Deliverable 1
Impact in Action: Practical impact measurement and management, stakeholder engagement, ESG and sustainability datasets traded on the Ocean Market
RAZ Finance is curating an “Impact in Action” dataset for the Ocean Market that showcases:
- What are the practical steps involved in developing Impact Business Models according to the B Impact Assessment?
- What do companies and their team members need to do to achieve B Corporation Corporation certification?
- In practice, what actions need to be taken to realize genuine progress according to impact metrics and reporting frameworks including IRIS and the GRI?
- How do stakeholders engage with and verify progress according to social and environmental Key Performance Indicators, sustainability targets and indicators, alongside ESG and impact assessments?
- What do “best practices” look like when it comes to policy and program development related to positive Environmental, Social and Governance outcomes?
- How does sustainability overlap with financial materiality?
RAZ is onboarding more companies, asset managers and partners, including SDG Impact and YK Center projects with the goal of managing 20 active platform accounts by January 1st 2022.
Datatokens will be associated with verified product impact data as well to facilitate the trade of certified organic and sustainable, fair-trade products.
Integration of the OCEAN Protocol as part of RAZ Finance business development, marketing and investor presentations. Marketing and promotion of the Ocean network via RAZ social media channels and websites. Cross-promotion of Ocean DAO members actively measuring and managing their impact, sustainability and ESG data.
Accomplishments:
As part of our Round 8 grant, we have started compiling data, and making it available on the Ocean Market, based on our first early adopter projects, including those with Roshem Impact, a a Certified B Corporation, and two companies working towards B Corp certification: Maven Hemp and Shah Hemp Shah Hemp (Nepal’s first B Corp).
Grant Deliverable 2
RAZ Network membership revenue generated via OCEAN
The RAZ Network https://raznetwork.net and individual data management platforms customized through https://razfinance.io will be made available to members, asset managers and companies via $OCEAN. We expect that approximately 30% of our expected subscription revenue can take place via OCEAN. As such, revenue from the project itself will generate 0.2% return to the Ocean DAO ecosystem.
Grant Deliverable 3
Impact Finance Evolved: Integrated Financial, Environmental, Social and Governance Datasets Traded on the Ocean Market by January 1st 2022
Data collected from MVP platform clients:
What’s next? 5-10 investment funds and 20-30 companies
Accomplishments so far: 2 investment funds and 5 companies were onboarded and provided with a custom Proof of Concept solution within the first 30 days of our Round 8 project timeline.
Verified impact and financial datasets linked to Ocean ERC20 datatokens
Datasets provided to RAZ Finance Network members traded on the Ocean Marketplace in partnership with:

Data Consume Volume
What is the final product?:
The RAZ Finance dashboards allow companies to input data related to how they allocate investment capital, realize impact and ESG outcomes, and how their decision making influences their revenue and financial return.
A proof of concept, stakeholder-driven data management solution has been developed and deployed to track progress in accordance with customized Impact Themes.
RAZ is tokenizing datasets while driving liquidity and incremental growth in digital asset value based on data collected over time, allowing for decreased investment due diligence timeframes, increased opportunities for capital to be raised and investors to exit from impact investments.
The platform experience facilitates:
Data Inputs and Document Upload
Documentation related to impact-financial decision making, for example a spreadsheet that was sent to an investor about how capital was allocated, can be supplied by network participants. The document is verified by the project’s stakeholders as well as by auditors and impact/sustainability/ESG experts. Evidence of progress is digitally signed, hashed and recorded on the Tezos blockchain.
Verification
If a company compiles ESG or impact data about its own performance, or that of its partners, affiliates, and beneficiaries those action points and reports are recorded by RAZ and verified by stakeholders, auditors and experts.
Integrated Reporting
A fund manager or investor licenses the platform in order for the companies, tech solutions, farms, and impact-driven initiatives they have invested into to be able to utilize RAZ to track and manage data while integrating their reporting.
Outcomes and datasets are secured through blockchain protocols
RAZ catalyzes
-
Impact verification
-
Digital asset trading
-
Reduced risk for investors
-
Increased investment liquidity
-
Faster and more efficient due diligence
-
Secure access to integrated impact and financial data
-
Opportunities for purpose-driven companies and projects to access capital more efficiently
How does this project drive value to the “fundamental metric” (listed above) and the overall Ocean ecosystem? This is best expressed as Expected ROI.
Primary Metric: Data Consume Volume
More than one third of total assets under management (AUM), or $53 trillion, will be classified as “sustainable” or “ESG” by 2025.
According to Bloomberg, McKinsey and the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance, the largest shift in capital allocation occurred in 2021, leading to a $3 Trillion inflow of investment into “green”, sustainable and ESG-driven economic recovery initiatives.
ESG momentum is rising. While the next wave of growth is emerging across Europe, China, Japan and the USA, policy makers and market authorities are accelerating ESG disclosure requirements for both corporations and investors.
Based on these trends, RAZ Finance expects that the “Impact in Action” and “FESG Evolved” data consume volume will increase proportionally to our curation efforts and market forces.
RAZ data on the Ocean Market will make it possible for asset managers, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, consultants and impact managers to access resources on what impact measurement and management, alongside “Financial, Environmental, Social and Governance” (FESG) look like in practice.
Secondary Metric: Total Value Locked
Our team’s outreach efforts have introduced the Ocean Market to our partners. We intend to incentivize our early adopters, clients and network members to stake $OCEAN on our “Impact in Action” and “Impact Finance Evolved” datasets.
Project duration:
Initial pilot process completed and milestones met between August 9th and September 9th 2021
Proof of Concept: 90 days - September 9th to December 9th 2021
MVP: 6 months - December 10th 2021 to June 10th 2022
Market launch 1 year - June 2022 to June 2023
RAZ is expected to grow to being adopted by 30-50+ investment funds and 500-700 companies by the fourth quarter of business development, and to adoption by 200+ asset managers and 1500+ companies by 2023.
Through RAZ, Ocean is gaining exposure to impact investment fund managers, institutional investment managers, individual investors, companies receiving investment, and corporates as the go-to solution for dataset tokenization and trading.
RAZ aims to become a “best practice” platform for integrated impact and financial data integration.
Data as a New Asset Class: Tokenization and Decentralized Finance
While the RAZ software platform collects data and associates verification events to a blockchain ledger,
token issuance amplifies the potential of integrated impact and financial data by incentivizing:
Investors, Asset Managers and Companies
Impact and Financial Data Verifiers
to transform their data inputs over time into digital assets through:
Data Utility Tokens
NFTs - Non-Fungible Tokens
The staking of securitized data leads to monetization, trade and liquidity opportunities. Investors can diversify their portfolios. Companies can trade digital assets to increase access to capital and facilitate more efficient investor exits.
Verification experts can be rewarded with:
ERC20 datatokens
$RAZ
By staking their tokens, RAZ Network participants and Verifiers can benefit from guaranteed swap fees from subsequent staking, unstaking and data purchase activities that happen in their staked data pools.
$RAZ tokens will be minted in 2022 with utility extending to:
-
Capital deployment to verified opportunities
-
Access to premium features across the RAZ network
-
Trade of integrated impact-financial datasets
-
NFTs
Funding Requested: $17,500 USD
