A Rockefeller investor and ex-BlackRock vice chair are funding a fintech startup to tap into a $23 trillion market in the hottest area of investing
Despite i's explicit focus on doing good, Neilson said the firm does not sacrifice returns in the process. The company is set up similar to Berkshire Hathaway, with capital that can create and invest in companies for the long term, rather than a private equity fund that's forced to sell companies at the end of the fund's life. The family offices can also invest alongside the firm in individual investments.
The company's investments to date include WasteFuel, which converts waste into airplane fuel; Carbon Engineering, carbon dioxide reduction technology; and an accelerator program for video game developers.
