Anthropogenic Inc is the answer to the question I’ve asked myself over and over:

**What is the most impactful thing I can do about climate change?**

After a thorough search, review, and countless conversations with many of the world’s most dedicated climate professionals, I had my answer.

I’m building a Climate Fintech platform to incorporate climate data into the global financial system (GFS). At scale, this platform’s enablement functions will help shepherd billions to trillions of dollars that will:

*   Reduce carbon emissions
    
*   Regenerate wild places
    
*   Advance climate technology
    

All three are essential to winning this fight.

**Really?**

Yep. I’m building a scalable Climate-Fintech company to accelerate the global transition to a no-carbon economy. Notably, I’m also very fortunate to have an incredibly talented team dedicated to fighting climate change, making this achievable.

Four reasons Climate Fintech is my #1 way to positively impact the climate:

1.  **Immediate impact.**  A vast array of technology for reducing carbon emissions exists today and includes wind, solar, and an ever-growing variety of cleaner, cheaper technologies.
    
2.  **Measurement, Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MMRV) are critical yet underserved.** Innovations and investment in the MMRV space will support scale by helping us deploy climate capital faster and at a greater scale with significantly more accountability than currently achievable.
    
3.  **5-10+ Trillion** in annual climate transition investment must be deployed quickly and effectively to meet science-based climate recommendations by the IPCC.
    
4.  **Time is running out.** Climate change is creating a world that is increasingly inhospitable to life as we know it.

**Win / Win.**

By advancing climate fintech MMRV technologies we’ll help investors, companies, and financial institutions to allocate capital for climate transition, regenerative investments, and the advancement of carbon removal and storage technologies.

**Transformational Change Is Possible.** 

It’s truly an extraordinary time on planet Earth. For the first time in history, Earth data and financial systems can work together to build a profitable, livable future.

Business as usual isn’t keeping up with climate change impacts and the time to act is now. Join us.
