Third Nature

Third Nature Investments is a venture capital firm focused on systemic, impact-driven investments that aim to align human innovation with the preservation and restoration of Earth’s natural systems. Founded by Jason W. Ingle, who previously co-founded Closed Loop Capital, Third Nature leverages a decade of experience investing in agricultural technology and food system innovations. With Closed Loop Capital, Ingle backed pioneering companies in biological fertilizers, plant-based proteins, and fermentation technology, catalyzing billions in investor capital into these markets. Third Nature expands on this foundation by embracing an "earth systems" approach, targeting broader areas such as climate tech, sustainable packaging, and regenerative agriculture. The fund focuses on creating market-level transformations, rather than isolated, enterprise-level solutions, by examining the complex interdependencies between global ecosystems like oceans, forests, and the atmosphere. Its investments include companies such as Sway, a leader in sustainable packaging, and Atlantic Sea Farms, which focuses on aquaculture​. The firm operates with the belief that solving planetary challenges requires interconnected solutions, combining human ingenuity with natural restoration efforts. Third Nature not only invests in startups that work to decarbonize industries but also in those that actively regenerate ecosystems, positioning the firm as a major player in impact investing​. With a focus on systems-level change, Third Nature is redefining how venture capital can support both profitable growth and environmental stewardship.
