Recently awarded a Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label, TyreFlow Environmental, Inc. is on a mission to create a full end-to-end waste tire upcycling solution, changing the way waste tires are managed in North America and around the world. Annually, there are approximately 300 million scrap tires generated in North America and 1.6 billion globally – unfortunately, only 30% are recycled into other products. TyreFlow plans to deploy groundbreaking new technologies to capitalize on this opportunity to turn the other 70% into highly-engineered sustainable materials. With a focus on eliminating the long-standing waste problem, we are investing in world-leading upcycling process technologies and are vertically integrating the waste tire management ecosystem. Each facility we build will save an estimated 420,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. Our proprietary technology processes efficiently turn scrap rubber into highly-engineered materials that can be easily used by manufacturers to replace “virgin materials” - enabling a true cradle-to-cradle solution. We will drive sustainable results by ensuring that doing the right thing environmentally is also the best option economically.

The impact start-up SPRK.global GmbH (SPRK) aims to redistribute food oversupply and eliminate food waste along the global supply chain in the long term. By reducing food waste, SPRK also saves unnecessary CO2 emissions and natural resources like water and energy. To achieve this goal, SPRK is developing an innovative distribution platform, using artificial intelligence and machine learning. The SPRK technology connects supply chain participants to ensure that food oversupply is redistributed quickly and in line with demand, with systematic consideration of non-profit organisations as demand partners. Worldwide, 2.5 billion tons of food are wasted every year, 12-20 million tons of which are wasted in Germany alone. SPRK’s mission is closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). In July 2020, SPRK was selected out of 2.400 international applicants as a finalist in the Extreme Tech Challenge (XTC)—the largest "Tech For Good" competition for sustainable start-ups. With its impact-driven, innovative technology platform, SPRK took first place in XTC’s “Smart Cities” category.

"Dad, your generation created this problem. You better fix it." This quote by the daughter of legendary investor John Doerr (Kleiner Perkins) includes two of our guiding motivations: we created this problem, and for the sake of our children, we need to solve it. Given that climate change is the challenge of our lifetime, we only have the option to go all in, to concentrate passion, money, talent, ingenuity and effort on climate solutions. Our take is: if we can show that saving the planet and making sound investment decisions (make money...) are not mutually exclusive - quite the contrary - then more money will flow into the sector, more talent will move there, and a positively reinforcing cycle will be the result. Our focus is saving the planet, and our vehicle is investment ROI, with the catalyst being operational support for the entrepreneurs. It must be a concerted effort - together for a better planet. Basically, we are trying to replicate what happened in Silicon Valley over the last 50 years - but for the climate. We invest in truly impactful entrepreneurs and their companies and help them grow their impact exponentially, all from the perspective of private equity (with a hint of venture capital). Examples include: - expertise in marketing and sales (think: growth) - expertise in data and tech (think: competitive advantage against traditional industries) - expertise in business model innovation (think: sell the electricity instead of the solar installation) - expertise in finance (think: growth capital) - expertise in operational excellence (think: COO) - expertise in product management (think: consumer-grade user experience in B2B, fully digital) - access to the network (everyone says that, its nothing new) Most of all, what you are going to hear from us: how can we help? Front and center of what we do is decarbonization - together with our climate community.
