We back regenerative technology companies that are restoring the planet from the atom up.
Why regenerative?
Because investment should be an act of optimism.
We can’t incrementally fix what is fundamentally broken. Sustainability is not enough. The next generation of iconic companies will work with nature rather than against it.
Driven by a convergence of technology, demand and talent, the only limit is our collective imagination. Together, we will create a better way of living for all without destroying the planet we depend on.
- 25% of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the food and agriculture industry. We can transform this carbon culprit to a carbon sink.
- $>3T per year of materials and products will be redesigned from synthetic to bio-based to meet our net-zero targets.
- 45% of carbon emissions need to be cut this decade and 100% by 2050. The entire economy must be radically reinvented.
Our Investment Areas
Food & Agriculture
Nature-inspired technologies enable a healthier food system that meets the needs of all while healing the planet.
Regenerative food systems can mitigate 25% of global emissions as well as being a carbon sink for other industries. The co-benefits of increased biodiversity, reduced water consumption and improved food quality, make this a truly win-win-win area of focus.
Alternative Food Production, Soil Health, Supply Chain, Robotics and Automation, Microbiome
Materials & Products
From synthetic chemicals and fossil-fuels to living and bio-based. Ubiquitous materials such as textiles, building materials and packaging that make up our physical world are being reimagined thanks to step-changes in technology.
Materials of the future will work for the planet rather than against it and be more beautiful, cheaper and infinitely scalable.
Regenerative Fibres, Textiles, Dyes, Feedstock, Plastics, Building Materials, Enabling Infrastructure
Decarbonisation
Reinventing every sector of the economy is an urgent imperative and generational opportunity.
We acknowledge that not every sector will reach net-zero in our lifetime. While reducing emissions towards zero as fast as possible we will simultaneously accelerate our progress by harnessing nature-based solutions to remove carbon faster, cheaper and more permanently.
Mother Earth has been doing this for 4 billion years!
