Investment thesis
Third Nature Investments pursues a systems-based, impact-oriented investment strategy aimed at restoring balance between earth's natural systems and human activity. It positions itself as the next iteration of Closed Loop Capital Investments (CLCI), an impact-driven venture fund co-founded in 2012 that invested in agriculture technology and food system innovation, helping catalyze markets such as biological fertilizers, fermentation technology, and plant-based proteins. Building on CLCI's insight, network, and domain expertise, Third Nature broadens its scope from food systems to all of earth's critical systems, working through a collective of strategic partners to create new markets and business models in service of human and planetary health.
