About Us

Sedoha exists because the world measures its impact to report it, not to improve it. Here is why it was founded, and who is building it.

  1. Our StoryThe problem behind Sedoha, the work that came before it, and what AI makes possible now.
  2. Our PeopleThe team building Sedoha, and where each of them comes from.

01 The problem

Impact gets measured to be reported, not to be improved.

Organizations put real effort into counting their impact. The figures go into a report, the reporting cycle ends, and the work carries on as before.

Meanwhile only money has books, so most of the value an organization creates or destroys is never counted at all.

A loop of four steps, measure, report, decide and improve. Only measure to report is drawn solid; the loop stops at the report. Measure Report Decide Improve The loop stops here
Measuring and reporting happen. Deciding and improving, on the evidence, rarely do.

02 The founders

Built by people who spent their careers making technology for the public good.

Before Sedoha, its founders built software for homeless services, public health, farm supply chains, green buildings and refugee employment. In every field they saw the same gap: plenty of measurement, and little of it turned into better results.

03 Why now

AI makes impact books possible. Accountants make them right.

Impact evidence arrives as surveys, meter readings and program reports, not as priced transactions. Turning it into balanced books takes more classification and judgment than any team could afford, which is why impact has had frameworks but never books.

Sedoha’s AI is built to change what accountants can do, not to replace them. Accountants make every call that matters; the AI carries each one across the whole ledger.

The accountant

  • Rules on methodology
  • Makes every material call
  • Signs off on the books

Sedoha’s AI

  • Reads each piece of evidence as it arrives
  • Applies every ruling across the whole ledger
  • Brings new questions back for judgment

One set of double-entry books, every figure traceable to its source

What accountants can do now that they couldn’t before

Measurement is the means. Improvement is the point.

Our People

Founded and led by people who spent their careers close to the problem.

Michael Knapp

Michael Knapp, PhD

Founder & CEO

  • Founder, Green River (2000–2024)
  • PhD, Yale
  • Guilford, Vermont

Michael founded Sedoha to close a loop that has been broken for decades: the distance between measuring impact and actually improving it. He is a context engineer and public-health informaticist who has spent 25 years building continuous-improvement systems for governments, supply chains, and social-service agencies.

In 2000 he founded Green River, a software company he grew to 45 designers and engineers without outside investment. Its work includes Open Path, the open-source homeless-services data platform begun with the City of Boston and now matching people to housing for agencies across the country; My Healthy Community, Delaware’s neighborhood-level population-health platform, peer-reviewed in the Delaware Journal of Public Health; farm-inspection and worker-safety systems for Starbucks’ coffee and cocoa supply chains; and the platform behind GRESB, the global benchmark for real-estate sustainability.

In 2024 he transitioned Green River to full employee ownership through an ESOP-cooperative hybrid. He holds a PhD in Environmental Health Sciences from Yale and lives in Guilford, Vermont, where he serves on the town Planning Commission and the boards of community organizations.

Karim Bin-Humam

Karim Bin-Humam

Partner

  • Founder, SkillLab
  • MA, Johns Hopkins SAIS
  • Engineering, Tufts and TU Munich

For over a decade, Karim worked with UN agencies, nonprofits, foundations, and international development organizations, using digital technology to open economic opportunity for marginalized communities, including refugees. He founded SkillLab, a social venture whose AI skills-mapping platform reached workers in more than twenty countries.

Across that work, one problem kept recurring: the people deciding what counts as impact are rarely the ones closest to it. He leads impact and engagement at Sedoha to close that gap, putting social and environmental outcomes on books the people closest to the work can read and challenge, the way financial statements already work for money. He holds an MA from Johns Hopkins SAIS and degrees in engineering from Tufts and the Technical University of Munich.
