“I want to remind you that the forest is far more than a source of timber. It is our collective medicine cabinet. It is our lungs. It is the regulatory system for our climate and our oceans. It is the mantle of our planet. It is the health and well-being of our children.”
Diana Beresford-Kroeger
The Tech+Land Fund
A $20M seed fund investing in economically and ecologically regenerative systems in communities with latent potential across North America.
$20M Tech+Land Fund
The fund will invest in technology startups as well as real estate development projects needed for these tech companies to smaller communities. In this way we are designing and building “operating infrastructure” needed for businesses to operate outside of the major metropolitan hubs – lowering opex, creating jobs, and improving quality of life for employees.
Economically and Ecologically Regenerative Systems
This fund will specifically target technology and real estate investments that are circular in nature. This means their operational models, products, and services are economically and ecologically restorative to the communities in which they operate. They improve the economic standing of families and the ecological health of forests and farmland.
Seed Investments
Pre-seed and seed investments will be made in emerging AgTech and ForestTech companies that are operating in our target communities, as well as in real estate development projects that allow these companies to grow.
Communities with Latent Potential
As legacy industries (mining, timber, steel, farming) have been subject to consolidation, acquisition, and globalization, the communities that supported these industries have atrophied. Yet these communities still have massive untapped potential. These communities are also seeing growing populations as the cost of living become too much for many in the greater metro hubs and workers from many sectors desire a better quality of life.
Deal Flow
Preliminary fieldwork has identified more than $2 billion of deal-flow to start the transformation from dying legacy industries to the new Knowledge Economy. Our Tech+Land strategy creates a continuous flow of important new business to design-build-operate-finance on a turnkey basis.
