ReGen Ventures

General Partners Dan Fitzgerald, Rose Marcario, and Tom Chi lead investment decisions. Fitzgerald brings quantitative finance and climate-tech investing experience; Marcario is the former CEO of Patagonia; and Chi managed the Oxford Seed Fund after an Oxford MBA. The firm’s website lists them as the core partnership team, supported by an extended network of advisors and operators.

ReGen sources through a global network of founders, operators, and brand advisors that includes Canva co-founder Cameron Adams, former Nature Conservancy CEO Mark Tercek, and sustainability communications specialists. The firm’s founder community and Substack newsletter — the ReGen Deep Dive — also function as a top-of-funnel magnet for startups in deep tech and climate. Portfolio companies cite ReGen’s customer introductions in the food and agriculture sector as driving inbound opportunities.

ReGen operates as a venture capital firm, not a family office. It makes early-stage investments in regenerative technology startups and maintains a portfolio of more than 20 disclosed companies. The firm does not disclose any family wealth backing or permanent capital structure, making its model consistent with traditional venture funds.

The firm invests directly in early-stage companies, with no public record of fund-of-fund commitments. Portfolio companies such as Anthrogen, Burnbot, and Pachama received direct equity investments. The firm’s operating model emphasizes hands-on founder support — including board management and strategic introductions — rather than LP-position investing.

ReGen targets early-stage companies, often pre-Series A, in regenerative technologies. The firm’s website states it backs founders 'with unreasonable ambition to rewrite the code of life from the atomic to the planetary scale.' Portfolio support extends through growth stages, with founders citing investor introductions ahead of Series B rounds.

ReGen does not publish an exclusion list, but the portfolio shows a clear focus on hardware, biology, and infrastructure platforms rather than consumer software or media. There are no publicly disclosed investments in adtech, social media, or enterprise SaaS outside of climate-enabling software like Arch and Seqana. The firm’s website emphasizes energy, matter, intelligence, and autonomy as its core investment vectors.

ReGen does not disclose a separate philanthropic foundation or donor-advised fund. The firm’s advisory network includes nonprofit leaders such as former Nature Conservancy CEO Mark Tercek, suggesting an integrated approach to environmental impact rather than a separated philanthropic vehicle.
