Our Roots

Before Silvi, there was Justlearn, a company crafting modular K-12 curricula dedicated to teaching aquaponics and sustainable farming methods to children in classrooms.

As founder Djimo Serodio, and his team, began to explore a module for tree planting, he realized there was room for a new platform to grow, one dedicated to reforestation around the world. Further, he began to imagine a world where financial systems are intrinsically tied to natural capital, positioning trees as a foundational and sustainable asset class that the global financial system can be pegged to. 

Hence Silvi was born - from the essential question and company motto, “how do we enable 100 million people to make a living planting 1 trillion trees?”

Silvi isn't just a company; it's a movement dedicated to accelerating global reforestation and providing sustainable livelihoods for millions, sowing seeds of hope and healing for our planet.

Growth Trajectory

2021

Urban Reforestation in Fort Meyers, Florida

We engaged with 10+ schools and community partners in order to propagate almost 5,000 trees, while engaging dozens of students and community members in the process.

2022

Climate Collective Grant

We won a grant from the Climate collective to engage in reforestation pilots + build our tree-steward payouts.

Silvi Alpha

We built the first version of the Silvi App, an exciting tool for tree stewardship and community engagement. It enabled users to easily document tree information, including images and species, enabling better management and growth tracking.

Reforestation in the Kakamega Forest

Silvi partnered with Eliud, a former primary teacher turned reforestation champion near the Kakamega forest. After 8 months, Silvi’s network of early adopters have propagated ~70,000 trees across 15 pilot sites in Kenya around the Kakamega Forest.

2023

Silvi Closed Beta

We shipped the closed beta of the Silvi App, including UX upgrades and tree-steward payouts.

2024

500 Users

Through organic adoption and word-of-mouth, we reached the milestone of 500 tree stewards on the Silvi platform.

Full-stack MRV Toolkit

We shipped observation, panorama, carbon accounting, and zone features to make Silvi a full-stack MRV toolkit for reforestation projects.

2025

Launched Treekipedia

We launched Treekipedia on Earth Day - a programmable, AI-powered tree knowledge platform that transforms scattered tree data into actionable intelligence.

Celo Ultragreen Money Partnership

We partnered with Celo through the Ultragreen Money initiative to redirect Celo gas fees toward tree planting activities. This innovative mechanism transforms blockchain transaction costs into direct reforestation funding, creating a sustainable financing model that turns network activity into ecological restoration.

Bioregional Reforestation Campaigns

We're distributing $100,000 to support bioregional reforestation campaigns across multiple regions. Every payment transaction includes an IPFS CID on-chain, with GPS coordinates and photos for every tree and sample plot stored on IPFS, making every claim independently verifiable.

The Vision

We aim to create a future where:

Every tree is planted and stewarded regeneratively, to enrich the unique local life system and the humans that live within it.

People and trees around the world engage in mutually beneficial and conscious relationships

People grow and share tree wisdom together on a global scale, with rich local context.

We learn to see through the eyes of a tree to glean how we can relate to our living ecosystems

Trees are honored as a high-quality reserve asset in our financial institutions and businesses.

Anyone can sustain a dignified livelihood through planting and stewarding the right trees in the right places.
