Sand River invests in start-ups with the potential to save nature. We work closely with our portfolio companies to help them to deliver scalable and commercial solutions that enable new ways to live sustainably within our planetary boundaries.

55% of global GDP depends on high-functioning biodiversity and Ecosystems Services delivered by nature. But modern humans have taken the health and durability of nature’s assets for granted, and continue to do enormous damage to them in all aspects of the way we live - how we farm, build, manufacture, distribute, consume, and waste.

We can no longer wait to act. The impending collapse of earth’s natural systems is inevitable without fundamental change. The loss of non-human life is itself devastating but the wellbeing, and even survival, of our species is also at stake.

Addressing this existential challenge requires urgency, substantial investment, new technology, and new thinking. We are a collaborative team and if you are part of this movement in any way, we want to hear from you.
