Entrepreneurs for Impact

Spring Lane Capital is a private equity firm specializing in providing hybrid project capital for sustainable infrastructure and energy projects.

DevEngine Partners partners with project developers by providing development capital and hands-on development support to de-risk sustainable infrastructure projects.

CREO is a "secret club for billionaires" that connects ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices to investment opportunities in sustainability and clean energy.

In addition to co-leading these two organizations, Jason has extensive experience in sustainable finance, including roles at Renewable Resource Group, Acumen Fund, Generation Investment Management, and Encourage Capital.

In this episode, you’ll learn these four important takeaways.

  1. Why he likes to invest in both corporate and project finance at the same company
  2. What “venture infrastructure” means as a climate finance niche
  3. The importance of relationships vs. transactions
  4. How he learns to balance in life by surfing in the ocean
