FUTR Impact Capital to Launch FUTR PROOF at Aspen Climate
Partnerships Announced at Aspen IDEAS: Climate Event in Miami on March 7
Miami – March 7—FUTR Impact Capital, Inc., a Miami-based impact company dedicated to investing in and accelerating companies and individuals focused on the transition to a net zero economy, is launching its FUTR PROOF Innovation Platform at the Aspen Climate event this week. FUTR PROOF is an Impact Innovation Platform that empowers change makers and entrepreneurs around the world with the tools, mentorship, community, and funding they need to accelerate growth, measure impact, and deploy real-world solutions.
FUTR Impact Capital joined The Ocean Foundation today to announce a new collaboration to help identify best of breed investments in reducing ocean plastics and other pollution and in combating sea level rise. FUTR Impact Capital also announced its first ocean investment benefactor—Ocean Recovery Group—at the Aspen Ideas: Climate 2023 meeting in Miami Beach, Florida. FUTR Impact has also made investments in a water technology desalination company to bring fresh water to America’s southwestern region.
“We understand the importance of investing in the future,” said Jason Inasi, CEO of FUTR Impact Capital. “We are proud to accelerate the goal of sustainability through our investments in technology-driven, eco-conscious innovators. Our new partnerships with The Ocean Foundation and others allows us to identify, support and fund innovative founders who are developing solutions for a more sustainable planet,” said Inasi. “From climate change to economic inequality, we know that the solutions we need will require bold ideas, collaborative partnerships, and a deep commitment to making a positive impact.”
“What the FUTR Impact team is doing is long overdue in the impact investment space,” said Wayne Walker, CEO of Common Ground Capital, a conservation banker in Salt Lake City. “I just hope FUTR PROOF can disrupt some of the conventional politics that prefers the status quo and may not care about the environment.”
The FUTR PROOF platform empowers companies, professional organizations, Cites and Governments with the tools to evolve, adapt and mitigate the threat of climate-related loss
Miami is facing an existential threat from sea level rise and the warming of the planet. “Miami is really ground zero for climate change impacts with billions of dollars of property at-risk,” said Jonathan Purves, assistant director of media relations for Aspen Institute. “Miami is at the forefront of climate change solutions. Miami must replace lost habitats, like the mangrove forests, and provide a first line of defense against flooding.”

The Ocean Foundation drives sustainability with its promotion of the “blue economy.” President Mark Spalding joined FUTR Impact Capital in calling for renewed investment in technologies and businesses that can create solutions to ocean threats. He spoke at the conference with Inasi on the topic, “The Oceans are Open for Business.” Later, Spalding will join the Aspen Institute’s Energy and Environment team on a panel discussion on blue economy development: “Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal.”
Inasi praised The Ocean Foundation for leading the way in developing a sustainability blueprint for clean water that aligns with FUTR’s commitment to supporting organizations and investments that mitigate environmental threats.
Applauding FUTR Impact Capital for its unique ecosystem of funding, resources, and tools to accelerate and scale climate change solution businesses, Spalding said: "This FUTR PROOF ecosystem fills an important space in the climate change landscape. The wider we spread our net to find and enable innovators dedicated to sustainability, the closer we get to mitigating the disruption that climate change is already causing. We need all hands and minds on this urgent issue.”
