Despite the massive opportunities for disruptive companies as the world transitions to more sustainable practices, there is a significant lack of investment support for sustainability-driven companies at the early stages of growth and development. This gap has created the opportunity to invest in enormous market opportunities at very reasonable valuations. With this syndicate, I’m inviting a group of strong partners to help close this gap and build tomorrow’s industry leaders.

I’ve spent more than 20 years in Silicon Valley working to build great companies making positive contributions to the sustainability of our planet - first as an early-stage cleantech VC with Garage Technology Ventures and @Ventures, followed by a decade leading companies as CEO of Propel Fuels and Chief Commercial Officer at Proterra. Over the course of my career, I’ve successfully invested in solar, renewable fuels, water, fuel cells, waste recovery and other industries and have reviewed thousands of investment opportunities. I have also had the good fortune to build relationships with the industry’s leading investors, entrepreneurs, and service providers.

This syndicate invests in the entrepreneurs leading the way in sustainability across several key domains:

Cleaner energy generation, storage, and efficiency

Urbanization and mobility

Resource and materials efficiency

Sustainable food systems

Climate protection and mitigation

I am committed so sharing all thesis-aligned deals with the syndicate.
