Very excited to have Sara speaking at this event!

The hits keep coming 🌎 🚀 🌏 … Congratulations to the teams at Polystyvert and e-Zinc.  Very excited for the future of these two game changing Earth Foundry portfolio companies and the new partners that are joining to help make them successful! Polystyvert Inc. raised $16 million in a first tranche of Series B funding to help finance its commercial-scale plastics recycling facility and further the development of its technology. It has been incredible to watch this team scale such an essential recycling innovation for the plastics and chemical industries. Polystyvert has created a viable path to a #CircularEconomy by solving the cost, quality, and energy intensity issues of traditional recycling methods. This round was led by new partners Infinity Recycling and SWEN Capital Partners Blue Ocean! e-Zinc announced the close of an #oversubscribed USD $31M Series A2! Funds will be used for continued development and to deploy our next major pilot projects with California Energy Commission and Toyota Tsusho America. This oversubscribed Series A2 round was led by Evok Innovations, with additional investments from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Ultratech Capital Partners, and participation from existing shareholders, including Toyota Ventures, Eni Next, Anzu Partners, BDC, and Graphite Ventures! Well done James Larsen, Nathalie Morin, B.Eng,MBA,ASC, Sara Chamberlain and the many many other people who are making the amazing companies successful!

Earthshot raised a Series A and that’s not what really matters. I’m really glad to share that Earthshot recently closed a $5.5m Series A to serve land stewards everywhere to get paid for regeneration, support offtakers' due diligence, and facilitate project investments. This last year we’ve been working mostly under the radar, growing with the huge influx of demand from partners looking for rigorous alternatives to conventional carbon developers. Earthshot has worked on more than 60 reforestation and conservation projects, directed more than $55m in project finance, and we are profitable and hiring across all teams. In the self-reinforcing swirl of venture capital, it sometimes seems like fundraising is the most important news there is. It’s not. The news is ecological heroes addressing the greatest challenge of our time. It is the 15th straight month of record heat, unprecedented in human history, consistently above the 1.5 degree target that used to be the policy goal for a stable climate. We must deploy .5% of global GDP (around $500BN per year) for ecosystem restoration and conservation, and we’re a fraction of the way there. Our partners at BirdLife International have done epic work across the globe, working on new projects together in Cambodia, Paraguay, Indonesia, Madagascar, and numerous other places. Tree Aid did a huge expansion of their reforestation operation in Burkina Faso, with more countries in the African Great Green Wall next up. Corporate, NGO, and government partners across Guinea, Mexico, Colombia, Papua New Guinea, Panama, Peru, Brazil, Mongolia, and more have trusted us to support their projects end to end. Trust and integrity is what this market needs to scale. Earthshot’s mission is too important to be subject to the hype cycles of venture. This is why we’re very excited to be supported by a team of investors with long-term conviction: Acorn Pacific Ventures, Future Ventures, Earth Foundry, One Small Planet, Parameter Ventures, Sand Hill Angels, Resilient Earth Capital, and more. Thank you to everyone who has joined the journey so far. If you’re reading this, feel the responsibility to act, and want to apply your talent, capital and will toward ecological regeneration, please reach out.
