Finance
We deploy and blend loans, grants and equity investments with the mission to conserve and restore biodiversity.
Nature-linked loans
Our loans are built to recognise and reward businesses that have nature-positive impacts on the landscapes they operate in.
Rewarding regeneration
Every loan commences with a competitive interest rate and a series of co-designed nature milestones. As these milestones are reached, the interest rate decreases. Milestones could include conservation efforts, biodiversity data collection, land rehabilitation and building knowledge in climate resilience.
From cacao to beyond
Our loans initially focused on cacao businesses operating in and near tropical rainforest ecosystems. Now, we're also exploring a range of nature-positive business models across an array of ecosystems.
Non-financial support
Wedgetail also supports partners with developing biodiversity and livelihood monitoring and evaluation plans and value chain connection.
Your location is no barrier
Wedgetail has projects in 14 countries and operates in English and Spanish. We’re here to support you, no matter where you’re located.
Equity investments
Technology has a critical role to play in helping us halt and reverse the destruction of biodiversity by 2030
From helping us better measure and monitor biodiversity, to aiding conservation and restoration, to deepening our very understanding of nature’s ecosystems and species, technology can facilitate widespread, fast-paced systems change.
To date, we’ve focused our investments on MRV technology, funding Agronomeye, Courageous Land and Xylo, to name a few. However, we’re now broadening this thesis, and are looking for solutions that democratise information in a way that helps nature-focused businesses succeed.
Grants
In addition to nature-linked loans and equity investments, we offer grants through the Wedgetail Foundation.
Typically, our grants focus on one of four categories: catalytic capital, integrated landscapes, research and development and storytelling initiatives.
For example, a Wedgetail grant supports the creation of a biological corridor in Panama, combining conservation and the building of local economies to support farmers and better biodiversity outcomes.
Ultimately, the goal of the Wedgetail Foundation is to change the way people value nature by supporting and investing in the frontiers of biodiversity regeneration.
Financing systems change
We need to protect and regenerate nature across our systems — including our agricultural, waste, construction, financial and political systems. At Wedgetail, we’re experimenting with a variety of investment models to support systems change of this magnitude.
If you’re on a nature-positive journey, we’d love to support you.
