Securing the right investment is crucial for any solution-driven business aiming for long-term, sustainable growth. Navigating the investor landscape can be intricate and demanding, particularly in today’s competitive market. At Blue Earth, we’ve established a robust network of impact investors, each dedicated to advancing solution-focused innovations across various industries. 🌟 Today, we’re spotlighting Nic Gorini, Managing Partner at Spin Ventures, which operates an ecosystem that includes a venture builder, a venture capital firm, and a corporate open innovation platform, all dedicated to decarbonising the Consumer & Retail Industries. We asked Nic about his motivation for investing in purpose-driven businesses: “As a youngster, I was captivated by the ingenuity of kids crafting cars out of Pepsi cans. It takes a certain kind of magic to transform waste into something as remarkable as a car, something that’s profitable and valuable. That’s the magic of entrepreneurship, and it’s why we founded Spin Ventures”. One of Spin Ventures recent investments includes Sparxell, the world’s first 100% natural, high-performance biodegradable colour platform, inspired by the beauty of nature. We are excited to host the Blue Earth Forum next week, a flagship event during London Climate Action Week 🌱 #BlueEarthForum #ImpactInvestment #Solutions
