Rose Macario is a former CEO of Patagonia, one of the most climate conscious apparel brands globally.
She’s now a partner at ReGen Ventures in the US – an investment firm that plans fund several billion dollars in regenerative technology companies between now and 2030.
A CEO from Patagonia would know a few things about how good doing good can be for business.
“Making great profits is not incompatible with caring about people and the planet, that was not my lived experience at Patagonia.”
Angel investors with that kind of background don’t just throw money away – they expect that it will generate many times more $$$s than what they put in – but it’s not all about cash.
They’re also aware how critical these new projects will be, and they’re backing the ones that will scale fast and create a more livable future as soon as possible.
And unlike traditional investment firms—who might throw money at an opportunity simply because it’s promises a $$ return—with a climate specialist like ReGen, you also get the benefit of their very relevant experience and guidance.
Yesterday I mentioned 1,400 investment firms globally who put more than $55bn (AUD) into climate projects in 2021 alone.
New firms like ReGen pledging a billion on their own means if those 1400 investors each pledged a billion dollars… it’s a lot of money flying around but more importantly, big problems WILL be solved.
It’s opportunity central – any climate idea you have is worth exploring.
For self-employed creatives, normal business traps are easy to fall into and overcomplicate things - but they’re totally avoidable when flying solo.
