Climate resilience
Decision intelligence for communities, companies, and ecosystems working collaboratively to mitigate climate risk
Pilot to production
Accelerating climate, food, and water solutions through applied AI
We provide the capital and collaboration pathway for the Sustainable Futures Accelerator. Working with program partners, we help high-potential start-up companies move faster from technical promise to real-world deployment
Origins
From community to deployment
Inspired by the EarthRise community, the Platform brings together operators, technologists, researchers, investors, and ecosystem partners to support companies solving real-world challenges across climate resilience, food and agriculture, water, natural systems, carbon, and energy.
Focus areas
Where practical solutions can scale
The Platform supports companies that can move beyond pilots into deployment, adoption, and measurable outcomes
Food & agriculture
Solutions to improve productivity, soil health, resource efficiency, and regenerative outcomes at scale
Water & natural systems
Decision support for organizations of all types working across watersheds, landscapes, biodiversity, and resource use
Carbon & energy
Applied AI for carbon sequestration and measurement, energy resilience, planning, and project deployment
Approach
From validation to deployment
The Platform and its partners reduce execution friction for promising start-up companies moving from technical validation toward deployment, financing, and scale
- Technical enablement: access to AI, cloud, data, modeling, and solution architecture support through program partners
- Commercial pathways: introductions to customers, deployment partners, and markets through the broader partner ecosystem
- Strategic partnerships: connections across operators, researchers, investors, and mission-aligned institutions.
- Capital pathways: aligned investor engagement for companies with strong technical and commercial signals
Collaboration principles
Grounded in a proven approach
The collaboration model draws on the Social Value Investing framework for cross-sector partnerships, with an emphasis on aligned roles, shared accountability, and measurable progress
