Join the Harvard Circular Economy Symposium for an interactive town hall with leaders from the business and investment community to discuss the different approaches to financing and scaling the Circular Economy.

Accessing capital can be difficult for the many innovative young companies that are driving the shift towards circularity, due to requirements around historical financial data, long term projections, and proof of concept. Guests will share their industry expertise around the following topics: strategies employed by circular economy investment firms; financing approaches for circular economy startups (including the SPAC acquisition process); and systems thinking approaches to scaling circular economy business models.

Attendees include:

  • Ashleigh Morris, CEO and Co-Founder of Coreo
  • Jessica Long, CSO & Managing Director of Closed Loop Partners
  • John Bissell, Co-CEO and Founder of Origin Materials
  • Martin Stuchtey, Founder and Managing Partner of SYSTEMIQ
