Impossible Foods is addressing the most catastrophic threats facing humanity: climate change and biodiversity collapse. A global transition to a plant-based food system will turn back the clock on atmospheric CO2 levels, restore natural ecosystems and reverse meltdown in wildlife biomass. The easiest -- if not only -- way to make our civilization sustainable is to eliminate livestock, the most dangerous technology on Earth. But humans won’t give up meat. So we need to make meat better -- more delicious and more nutritious, without animals as the underlying production technology. That means that making meat sustainably is the most important and urgent problem for the global scientific community. Impossible Foods' mission is to completely replace the use of animals as a food-production technology by offering consumers everything they currently value about animal products -- and making products that are vastly superior to their animal analogues. To do this, we are taking a...

What We Are Building:  A climate solution investment intelligence platform that enables large-scale private, impact-focused, and public sector investors to readily allocate capital to the highest leverage climate investment opportunities while meeting risk/return objectives. About Capital For Climate:   Achieving a 1.5℃ outcome depends on providing the means to exponentially increase the speed of investment in the highest leverage climate solutions.  With $50 trillion of private capital engaged on climate and focused increasingly on net zero by 2050, there’s no shortage of capital. What capital lacks though is a compass and guide to the most important investments, the means to understand and source them, and a platform through which to vet and diligence potential commitments.    Capital For Climate was founded in 2019 to build a premier investor platform that can provide asset owners, financial institutions and public sector investors...

What We Are Building:   A climate investment intelligence platform that enables large-scale investors to quickly allocate capital to the most impactful climate solutions on path to net zero and 1.5C while meeting return objectives. Achieving a 1.5℃ outcome depends on providing the means to exponentially increase the speed of investment in the highest leverage climate solutions. With $50 trillion of private capital currently engaged on climate, there’s no shortage of capital. What capital lacks is an accurate compass and guide to the most important investments. C4C’s open architecture platform will provide financial institutions and public sector investors the landscape, navigational guide and real time intelligence required to confidently deploy capital to scientifically validated, impactful, and immediately investable climate solutions. This work spans energy systems, industrial processes and materials, transportation, agriculture, forests/forestry,...
