The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
IQgo (formerly ESGgo) was a sustainability operating platform founded in 2022 by Orly Glick (formerly a partner at Vintage) and Ido Green. Its SaaS product, powered by a deep-tech data engine, collected ESG data across organizations, normalized it against any ESG framework or investor questionnaire, and generated AI-powered analytics and compliance-ready reports — including stories, graphs and KPI calculations — with use cases in sustainability reporting, benchmarking, supply chain analytics and board presentations. PitchBook lists the company as having raised $7 million and being out of business, formerly VC-backed; IVC records it as having ceased to operate in Q4/2024.
