Principal, Greensoil Building Innovation Fund
Jamie, Robert, Anvesh and Malcolm are making the built environment more sustainable through multiple equity investments in emerging Canadian cleantech companies. Since 2015, Greensoil has invested over $41 million into cleantech companies in Canada and the US, including standouts like SensorSuite, CarbonCure, Cybeats and Illuma Drive. But Greensoil doesn’t just invest in ground-breaking technology. Their innovative “TIPPing” model – Testing, Investing, Promoting, and Procuring –  pilots new technologies in real world situations with their real estate partners, including the Net Zero Energy Dwelling penthouse and the first CO2 carbonated ready mix installations in downtown Toronto.  As a team, they have been successfully engaging with large real estate owners on cleantech adoption across Canada.
