In³ is an investment and business development firm specializing in "food-friendly biorenewables" -- use of agricultural crops or biomass for industrial purposes. The advantage of renewable source materials is we can increase the supply to meet the demand, they tend to be cleaner and more energy-efficient to produce (e.g., bioplastics require 60-70% less energy) and there is often a reasonable, cost-effective, environmentally-responsble disposal option at the end of a product's useful life.
Do that with petroleum!

We work primarily with experienced management teams commercializing biorenewable technology, early stage ventures. Our role varies widely depending on the situation and industry focus, but we generally do not get involved in seed stage transactions. We have facilitated private debt or equity placement, assisted with deal syndication, helped manage business planning projects, guided decisions about investment strategy, structured licensing agreements and more.

We often provide training ("educational opportunities") for C-level executives to lead culture change, identify and implement best practices, or capitalize on green brand development, product certification, sustainability planning and reporting, business intelligence, competitive, financial and market analysis. Then we break for lunch.

We sometimes take a minority equity position in companies that share our values and priorities. Our full range of services include venture development (from vision to strategy to capital campaign), bioplastics industry and biorenewable technology market trends research, joint venture and investment partnerships.
