SureChem: Accelerating investment in sustainable & resilient chemical ventures
Change Chemistry members are invited to a webinar on a proposal to launch a dedicated $150–250M green chemicals investment fund, since no such fund exists today for First‑to‑Scale (FtS) green chemistry ventures. The SureChem initiative, co-sponsored by Change Chemistry, aims to fill this gap by acting as an honest broker and co‑investing with generalist investors (e.g., VC’s, pension funds, public investors, family offices) who have interest but lack sector expertise. The fund would also provide entrepreneurs with the tailored support needed to grow from startup to profitable FtS scale‑up with manufacturing assets and customers. The webinar will cover the proposition, benefits and opportunities for CC members and the CC mission, and how to build profitable green chemical companies – and get a return from the investment. The webinar aims to identify those CC members who are interested in helping make the fund a reality, and a follow‑up meeting will be set up to discuss next steps.
