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.

We chose ReGen because they were one of the few investors we talked to who deeply understood the need to go beyond carbon neutral. They have a wide range of expertise that includes Ag, carbon, creative marketing, and politics. They are innovators and are paving a path for what investments should be by searching for sustainable returns rather than purely short-term wins. Whether it be learnings from Canva founders, Olympic coaches, Patagonia CEOs, Seth Godin himself, or just a breathing class to de-stress, we know ReGen is in our court.

ReGen has been most helpful to-date in three ways: first, through customer introductions with their great networks in the food/ag space which have driven inbound opportunities. Second, through investor connections, opening several doors that are positioning Clean Crop to secure significant additional investment before our Series B. And third, in managing our board and existing set of investors. ReGen’s coaching has made me a much more effective communicator and strategist.

I wanted ReGen to be our lead investor because of the singular DNA of the peaceful warrior that courses through the fund. They look to the furthest horizon with a hellfire conviction to will it to within reach. More importantly, they understand how to pull it off. ReGen live what others can only speak to – a biology of fund and self that knows that to truly get to the greatest stakes in climate and human history, you must build a heretofore unseen bond between the founding team and the fund.

Our Investment Areas

Food &
Agriculture

Investment area

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

Investment area

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

Investment area

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!

Partnership, not lip service

Founder-friendly isn't just a clean term sheet, it’s getting our hands dirty working alongside founders.
