Investing
in nature.
The First Thirty
We support early-stage entrepreneurs building solutions to enhance human and planetary health with technology.
Our goal with our portfolio is to be regenerating 30 Million hectares by 2030.
The first thirty cm of soil is the world’s most precious and undervalued asset. Healthy soils capture carbon, store more water, increase biodiversity and provide more nutrition and food.
Soil is the foundation of planetary and human health. Enabling a sustainable economy and planet begins there.
Soil is a rich, complex ecosystem that provides the life systems we need to survive: clean air, water and food.
Theory of Change
Humans use as many ecological resources as if we lived on almost two Earths. Our economic system prioritises quantity over quality. This erodes our planet’s health and humanity’s prospects.
Technological innovation is the pathway to handle and simplify systems complexity, making commodification unnecessary.
Catalysing a paradigm shift in output that focuses on quality over quantity, leading to better health, restored environments, and a sustainable economy.
