Investment thesis

Baruch Future Ventures invests in the climate economy, focusing on three themes: climate restoration through business model innovations that return Earth systems to health, resource scarcity via the intersection of materials science, biology and information technology to commercialize new critical materials, and sustainability innovations that decarbonize the global economy and remove carbon from the environment. The firm evaluates opportunities by prioritizing people, then business models, then technology, seeking cross-disciplinary teams, bold visionaries who think big and start small, and defensible IP with broad patent coverage.
