We work at the scale of ending extinction.

Our work results in:

responsive solutions that allow the field to leapfrog traditional barriers,
cutting-edge tech that revolutionizes the protection and measurement of biodiversity,
companies that go on to have exponential impact,
And, an ever-expanding community of innovators that continue to reinvent conservation. 

Our mission is to prevent the sixth mass extinction.

We focus on solving for the underlying drivers of extinction and realigning incentives across economic landscapes to create change.

We leverage the mechanism that’s right for the problem, with a focus on revolutionary over evolutionary solutions.

We utilize a variety of problem-solving approaches, acknowledging that the scope and scale of the problems facing the planet may require multiple mechanisms to drive impact.

Open Innovation

We believe a diversity of ideas, disciplines, and perspectives improves innovation and that cross-industry intelligence is required to solve problems at scale. To this end, we design prizes, challenges, and prototyping competitions that harvest the planet’s collective genius.
