Sirius

beSirius (Sirius Technologies B.V.) is an Amsterdam-based company that develops AI software for assurance, certification readiness, supplier and counterparty due diligence, KYC and compliance reporting in the metals and minerals sector. The platform structures a company's existing evidence — suppliers, sites, materials and material flows — into a reusable profile (described as a "Twin"), assesses that evidence against published standards and internal criteria, and produces draft deliverables such as filled questionnaires, scored assessments and regulatory templates. Modules cover certification preparation against schemes such as IRMA, Copper Mark and CMSI, internal site assurance, supplier assessment against customer-defined policies and thresholds, responses to customer, bank and investor diligence requests, ratings submissions including EcoVadis, CDP and S&P Global CSA, and completion of RMI templates CMRT, EMRT and AMRT. A network layer allows verified data to be reused between buyers and suppliers with consent attached.

The product was originally positioned as a sustainability technology stack for the metals, mining and mobility sectors, centred on an AI "Sustainability Twin" that aggregated sustainability data into a single profile, automated data sharing across supply chain stakeholders and supported reporting on regulations such as CBAM and Scope 3 supply chain decarbonisation. The company states that assessment outputs link back to the underlying source evidence and that human review remains part of the workflow.

The company states it holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, isolates customer workspaces, encrypts data in transit and at rest, does not use customer documents or outputs to train AI models, and offers EU or US data residency options.

Founding story

Co-founder and CEO Anastasia Kuskova has said the product grew out of her own experience leading sustainability at a large metals company, where she found that sustainability professionals in metals, mining and manufacturing lacked tools built for their sector. She and her co-founders, who had worked with organisations including the World Economic Forum, Tesla and major metal producers, concluded that the space was underserved and founded Sirius in 2022.

Business model

B2B software sold to enterprises in the metals and minerals value chain, with demos and trials as the entry point; the company positions the platform as a replacement for consulting spend, citing more than €500k in annual consulting work replaced for teams using it.

Traction

The company reports 2,200+ company records structured in the platform and 17+ standards and schemes supported. It cites customer-reported efficiency gains including supplier assessment moving from 20 hours to 2 hours, questionnaire responses from 4 hours to 20 minutes, ratings work from 76 hours to 8 hours, up to 100x faster work, up to 90% lower cost and more than €500k in annual consulting work replaced. Named customers include TELF and 3A Composites. In late 2023 the company was reported to serve the two largest mobility producers and operators in Europe and several major metal producers.
