Mark S. Brooks, a venture investor and climatologist, emphasizes the urgent need for innovative funding models to address climate change through agtech and other sectors. Traditional venture capital struggles to meet the long-term needs of breakthrough innovations, prompting a call for evergreen funds that provide patient capital and enable sustained growth. Additionally, early-stage consolidation of startups can create unified platforms, enhancing operational efficiency. By rethinking capital allocation, stakeholders can unlock trillion-dollar opportunities in ag, food, energy, and climate, fostering generational impact and transforming ambitions into reality.
