As a believer in the power of improbable ideas to create positive change, I am passionate about investing in mission-driven startups and projects that align with my values. Through these investments, I have seen firsthand the potential for alternative assets to be both profitable and impactful. I believe that by directing private capital towards the right opportunities, we can drive progress and even achieve magic. One area where I see incredible potential for growth is the decarbonization of the global economy. This presents not only a massive challenge, but also a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity. However, in order for more investors in private capital markets to take advantage of these opportunities at scale, we need to improve access, transparency, and liquidity. This is where I focus my efforts, particularly at EVIDENT where we are working to build the future of investing in alternative assets through asset tokenization and web3 technology. By leveraging these cutting-edge tools, we aim to revolutionize the way private capital is deployed to drive progress and create positive change.
