The Green Future Private Circle is an exclusive, internationally networked community of investors, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs. Our network boasts over 20 years of experience and established global partnerships. We pool capital and in-depth expertise to invest strategically in transformative companies and projects that harmonize economic and ecological principles and act as catalysts for a regenerative future.

We are not passive investors. Our approach is strategic and proactive, supported by a stable network that has grown over two decades. We see ourselves as architects of transformation, guiding investments from idea to implementation, building crucial bridges – especially across continents – and aiming to initiate entire value creation and innovation cycles.

Our impact approach is holistic and aims for systemic change. It comprises two inseparable pillars:

1. Social Justice & Cohesion: We invest in structures that create fairly designed, future-proof jobs, strengthen social cohesion in regions undergoing transformation, and contribute to a balanced distribution of wealth through local value creation. A healthy community is the foundation of every resilient economy.
2. Regenerative Ecology: Our focus is on the protection and regeneration of ecosystems. This means investing in a clean environment, the efficient protection of finite resources, and the active promotion of closed, regenerative cycles – such as the transformation of forest fire wood into a valuable substrate (SuSo™) or the drastic reduction of energy consumption through high-tech chips.

Our focus is on scalable high-tech solutions and systemic projects in the core areas of circular economy, renewable energies & storage, resource efficiency, sustainable building, and climate-smart agriculture. We invest exclusively in companies with the technological and operational depth embodied by our partners Genoptic and the CoAlternative Energy Group.

In addition to our strong roots and connections in Europe, we have excellent and long-standing relationships with the North American market, particularly with Canada. This unique position allows us to create transatlantic synergies, support promising high-tech exports – such as with our Canadian portfolio company Genoptic – and facilitate effective knowledge and technology transfer in both directions.

Canada is a global leader in the key future fields for us: clean tech, resource innovation, and AI-powered efficiency solutions. The country combines a strong research landscape with an entrepreneurial ecosystem that develops groundbreaking technologies to market maturity. Our trusted local network, cultivated over more than 20 years, gives us privileged access to these sources of innovation. We act as the strategic bridge connecting these cutting-edge Canadian technologies with European markets, industrial scalability, and support ecosystems – such as the Lausitz Science Park. This transatlantic synergy is a crucial competitive advantage.

The partnership with Genoptic is a prime example: Our network facilitated access to this "patent powerhouse" and the structured establishment of its European Center of Excellence in Lusatia. We translated its global technological leadership into the local context, thus creating a beacon for sustainable technologies.

Our selection process leverages the collective intelligence of our network and places the highest value on the substance of the partner company. In addition to financial viability, we assess the technological protection position (patents), the quality of the team and board, existing strategic alliances (e.g., with governments or universities), and the concrete path to industrial scaling.

Our process is personal, efficient, and designed to provide substantial protection. It follows a clear sequence:

1. Personal consultation & the initiator's idea: Everything begins with a confidential dialogue. We listen to the vision, experience, and concrete idea of the project initiator – be it an established entrepreneur or an experienced management team.
2. Investment structuring: Together, we structure the investment so that it is sensible, profitable, fair, and free of significant "soft costs" (high overhead or consulting fees) for all parties involved. The value creation should lie within the project itself, not in the financing structure.
3. Preparation of due diligence documents: Based on our strict criteria, we or the initiator prepare a comprehensive due diligence package. This includes technological, market, financial, and legal reviews that are transparent and comprehensible for professional investors.
4. Clarification of collateral & securing demand: A key aspect is clarifying specific collateral and assessing market demand. In our production projects, future capacities are always reserved by binding Letters of Intent (LOIs) or preliminary agreements with customers before production even begins. This significantly minimizes market risk.
5. Review & Circle Member Decision: The final, reviewed investment is presented to our Circle members in a structured format. The decision to participate rests with each individual member.

We select our partners with the utmost care. Behind each of our projects is an established, experienced company with proven expertise, high-caliber connections, and a clear path to scalability. We don't invest in mere ideas, but in tried-and-tested structures with in-depth know-how.

• Genoptic – The Patent Powerhouse: This Canadian high-tech company is more than a startup. It is a strategic partner of the Canadian government and boasts an impressive portfolio of 151 globally protected patents across 24 product families. Its technology is driven by an in-house research team and collaborations with elite institutions such as Harvard University. This foundation guarantees technological leadership and a sustainable competitive advantage.
• CoAlternative Energy Group / Power Substrate Inc. – The Circular Economy Pioneer: The parent company behind the Power Substrate SuSo™ has a distinguished board with connections extending into the political sphere and brings years of experience in industrial project development. Its groundbreaking approach of converting deadwood from burned forests into black pellets to replace coal in coal-fired power plants and into the high-quality, peat-free growing medium SuSo™ solves two problems simultaneously: It protects living peatlands and creates a meaningful ecological cycle for the aftermath of wildfires.

We connect international technology leaders with local circular economy pioneers:

• The technology leader: Genoptic Ltd. (Canada) with 151 patents and a Harvard partnership.
• The circular economy pioneer: Power Substrate Inc. with Ompeco technology for utilizing fire-damaged wood.
• The building block for the future: Campus Carrée Cottbus (KfW 40) for sustainable living.

Every project is built on the foundation of an experienced, highly networked partner company.

We act as a strategic partner and navigator for established companies in their market expansion. We translate their deep technological and production know-how into new regional ecosystems (such as Lusatia), connect them with the right political and industrial partners on site, and structure the investment for long-term, value-creating integration.

Our added value arises from a structured, six-stage process that ensures safety, efficiency and maximum impact:

1. Sourcing & Curation: Our panel identifies and reviews projects globally according to strict impact and financial criteria. Only projects with substantial partners (like Genoptic with 151 patents) reach the next stage.
2. Due Diligence & Framework Clarification: Even before the presentation to the Circle, we clarify critical questions regarding regulation, tax optimization, and market access with our network. We secure production capacities, for example, through Letters of Intent (LOIs).
3. Member Presentation & Syndication: Exclusive presentation of the hand-picked opportunity within the Circle. Members can participate directly and shape the project together – based on complete transparency.
4. Investment & Active Network Support: After the investment, our network remains active: We facilitate contacts (e.g., with Fraunhofer or political decision-makers), support regulatory dialogues, and open doors.
5. Performance & Impact Monitoring: We track not only financial KPIs but also ecological and social impact indicators (e.g., jobs created, CO₂ savings, protected peatland areas) and communicate these transparently to participating members.
6. Community & Learning Events: Regular exchange deepens knowledge, strengthens the community, and generates new ideas for future investments.

Members benefit from an established network of relationships that opens doors to outstanding project partners such as Genoptic or the CoAlternative Energy Group – companies that are often difficult for external investors to access. They do not invest in anonymous projects, but in companies with a clear origin, strategic importance, and an impressive track record.

Discretion is our highest priority in the Green Future Private Circle. We create and maintain a protected space for the ideas of tomorrow. The greatest impetus arises where strategic openness meets absolute confidentiality. Our members value the assurance that this circle is a protected space for reflection – open internally for intensive exchange, yet impervious to external influence. Here, they share thoughts, networks, and projects, knowing that respect and confidentiality are our guiding principles. We are a circle that values responsible silence as much as groundbreaking dialogue.

Our Circle is exclusively for experienced professional and institutional investors, including family offices, entrepreneurs with investment experience, and institutional investors. We connect individuals who deploy their capital with a clear impact intention and a long-term perspective, and who appreciate the value of a trusted, substantial network.

No. The Circle is explicitly designed for professional and institutional investors. The projects, access, and communication style are tailored to the needs and experience level of this target group. Our focus is on deep, strategic partnerships with a manageable number of members, not on broad distribution to retail investors.

No, membership itself is free. Our value arises from shared access to exclusive opportunities, the exchange of expertise, and the collective impact of our investments. However, we are subject to a rigorous selection process that ensures the quality, suitability, and long-term value contribution of each individual member to the community.

Membership is by invitation only, following a confidential interview. We value a mutual evaluation process that focuses on values, professional expertise, and contribution to the shared network.

The magnitude of the challenge demands the strength of collective action. While our core consists of long-standing, trusted partners, we recognize that the accelerated shift towards a regenerative economy requires even greater pooled expertise, capital, and network strength. We are selectively opening ourselves to new members to expand our collective intelligence and impact. This is about qualitative, curated growth: We are seeking individuals whose experience, values, and vision reinforce our mission and enable us to leverage even greater forces for systemic change.
