Zack and co-founder Max Nova imagined a market that would help every landowner become a natural capitalist. They built NCX (the Natural Capital Exchange) to accelerate the transition to a nature-positive economy.
Landowners need to know which programs are a good fit for them and their land. NCX’s mapping technology makes it easy to check your eligibility for many different natural capital programs.
“The world needs more innovations to bend the arc of climate change and biodiversity loss,” CEO Zack Parisa says. “At NCX, we help forests and communities thrive by democratizing access to the nature-positive economy. But we can’t do it alone. Join us today and let’s make a lasting difference for the future of our planet.”

Leadership Team
Zack Parisa is the co-founder and CEO of NCX. Over the last decade, he has developed and pioneered precision forestry tools that are revolutionizing the way that forests can be measured, valued, and managed. Using satellites, cloud computing, and machine learning, NCX worked with Microsoft to create “Basemap,” the first high-resolution forest inventory of the United States. It is now using this data to build new markets for forest values beyond timber, such as carbon, wildlife habitat, and fire risk. Zack is a forester and biometrician by training. He earned an MFS from Yale University, and a BS in forestry from Mississippi State University.
Max is a co-founder of NCX, the Natural Capital Exchange. He is dedicated to helping landowners find the right programs for them and their land. An engineer by training, Max has spent over a decade building tools for assessing the risks and rewards of land management decisions. Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Max is a graduate of Yale University.
Andy is the Chief Product Officer at NCX, responsible for delivering great product experiences to landowners and project developers. As a landowner himself, he has a special passion for using technology to make NCX more accessible, intuitive, and empowering for everyone who participates.
