That
Matter
The global economy sits on top of a foundation of nature – ecosystems, biodiversity, soil, water, nutrient cycles that provide enormous value, but have never been properly accounted for on any balance sheet. $58 trillion of global GDP depends on these natural systems now in decline, but less than 1% of private capital flows there. Change Forces puts capital where it's most needed: the economy beneath the economy.
The natural world – its resources and its biology – has been treated as a free input for a century. Now the system is breaking. Change Forces backs the early-stage deep tech companies solving where inputs come from, unlocking critical minerals and water from unconventional sources, and using nature's intelligence to replace what we currently mine, farm, produce, and synthesize industrially.
Critical Resources
Minerals, water, atmospheric and oceanic resources. Unlocking physical inputs the transition depends on from unconventional sources, outside of concentrated supply chains.
Applied Biology
Four billion years of R&D, decoded for the first time by frontier science, technology, and computation. Nature has already solved most of the problems industry has spent trillions trying to engineer – strong materials and more efficient chemistry. The companies that can deploy this intelligence will reshape entire sectors.
We started with a question most funds never ask: what happens when capital is patient enough to invest in the systems that actually need to change?
From our origins in philanthropy, we spent years deploying capital across four continents. What we found was a pattern: the most transformative companies weren't in the sectors making headlines. They were in the physical systems everyone else was ignoring.
That insight became our thesis. Our patience became our edge. Not a pivot from philanthropy — an evolution.
