At Subpod, we believe composting, growing food and connecting with nature should be a part of everyday life, for everyone, everywhere. Our user-centric products help people, businesses and organisations all over the world turn their sustainability aspirations into tangible action. In 2019, we launched our modular 3 in 1 compost system, worm farm, sparking a global movement. With over 55,000 Subpods sold and a global community of 19,000 members on our online platform, we are building a global community of waste warriors. Now with the launch of our balcony composter, IOT sensors and app-integrated gardening platform, Subpod is uniquely positioned at the intersection of the multibillion dollar markets of sustainability, waste management, gardening and education.

Imagine seeing an opportunity, a place where billions of dollars sits unused, and a model that liberates this funding into improving our planet, whilst delivering materially positive commercial outcomes for business? We’ve seen this opportunity, and know how to act on it. We’ve devised a unique model, that combines our deep understanding of risk (and how to mitigate it), the financial markets, and on-the-ground nature repair. This model is the opportunity the world has missed, and we know how to capture it.

Silverstrand is a Singapore-based impact investor focusing on biodiversity. Through both impact investments and philanthropic capital, we aim to catalyse systems change for both the restoration and conservation of nature, and to turn existing extractive, ecologically-destructive practices into regenerative ones.

We’re building the first virtual herbarium, a scientifically accurate, decentralised collection of 3D models of real-world scanned plant specimens, led by a decentralised community of researchers and citizen scientists. We strive to create a new era for open academic research not limited by social, economical or geographic backgrounds while supporting local communities and environmental habitats through regenerative economics powered by collectible 3D-model sales. We begin this with our flagship herbarium collection, but aim to bring Nature On Chain’ through many different types of specimens collected by our global community from fungi to coral reefs, continuing to pair our 3D models with associated scientific data. Crucially, immortalising this data on a decentralised storage network. Currently, scientific plant specimens are 2D pressings stored physically in herbariums, restricting access to specimens for both scientists and general enthusiasts outside of that location. While the vital importance of digitalising scientific collections has recently been realised, leading to a huge push to store scientific specimens digitally, these ultimately remain in their 2D form. PlantGang however is using Photogrammetry to create photorealistic 3D models, which are minted and stored on the blockchain, making them unalterable and immortal, unlike physical specimens. Additionally, unlike traditionally-stored specimens, our models show details of morphology and colouration, capturing the plant as it would be in its natural environment. Finally, each specimen is collected with associated scientific metadata from its geolocation and collection date to phenology and associated species, giving each specimen scientific context; grounding them in reality for use in research and education. Additionally, uploaded 3D-models can be made into open collectibles that can be purchased by collectors to directly support their favorite citizen scientists.
