Investment thesis
The firm connects private capital with sustainable technologies and strategic partnerships. It makes both corporate and project-level equity investments in emerging synthetic biology and fermentation processes that are ready to scale beyond the lab, typically targeting companies that have reached significant technical milestones (usually Series B or later) and co-investing alongside larger venture funds or strategic investors. It also invests at the project level in fermentation and power projects, and partners with municipalities on public-private partnerships to design, build, finance and operate sustainable waste remediation solutions ranging from material recovery facilities to bio-fuel production and waste-to-energy gasification.
