Regeneration.vc

Regeneration.vc invests where consumer culture meets planetary boundaries. The firm was founded in Redondo Beach to back early-stage companies that embed circularity directly into the value chains of fashion, food, electronics, and personal care. Leonardo DiCaprio serves as a strategic advisor, signaling the firm's bridge between climate science, brand influence, and venture capital. The strategy targets Seed and Series A companies with checks of $1–3 million, leading or co-leading rounds. The firm hunts for 'Kick' technologies — improving existing supply chain metabolism, such as Matter and Epoch Biodesign — and 'Shift' technologies — rewriting industrial rules with bio-based inputs, such as colorific and Notpla. Geographic focus spans North America, the Nordics, Benelux, the UK, and Oceania. The portfolio includes Cruz Foam, a home-compostable Styrofoam alternative, and Greyparrot, an AI-powered material recovery platform. The team lists over 25 professionals, including Gen. Wesley Clark and designer William McDonough on its advisory board. No AUM or total deployment figure is publicly disclosed. The firm operates adjacent to a regenerative brand venture studio, Squared Circles. Regeneration.vc fixes a structural gap in climate venture: consumer goods supply chains. Unlike generalist climate funds, the firm concentrates exclusively on re-engineering the materials, packaging, and recovery systems that enable global brands — from disposal back to design — making it a pure-play on circular economy infrastructure.
