The fashion industry accounts for up to 10% of global carbon dioxide output and roughly 2.6 million tons of clothing returns end up in US­­­ landfills each year instead of being resold. Meanwhile, the shipping for these returns account for around 16 million tons of CO2 emissions—and fast fashion is making things worse. But what if deep tech could help to cut down on returns? Amid the rise of conscious consumerism, one company is using video game technology and AI generated avatars to help online shoppers try on clothing virtually before they buy, in the hopes of making the fashion industry more sustainable. We’ll learn more from Christine Marzano (BODS); Carle Stenmark (VMG Partners); Jennifer Varekamp (MassArt); and Annachiara Marcandalli (Cambridge Associates).

More than two-thirds of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, a major climate change contributor. As such, use of renewable energy is expected to double in the next 15 years. But there’s a catch: the power they generate depends on variable factors like wind and sun, making them too unreliable to power our grid. However, recent battery innovations could be the solution. One company has developed an iron-air battery capable of storing energy for multiple days, which may be the missing link needed to decarbonize our grid for good. Join us to learn more from Mateo Jaramillo and Jocelyn Newhouse (Form Energy); Dipender Saluja (Capricorn Investment Group); Anders Lyngaa Kristoffersen (The Velux Foundations); and Di Tang (Cambridge Associates).

Humans have fantasized about flying cars for decades, but they’ve yet to leave the pages of our sci-fi books...or have they? Join us as we visit Joby Aviation out in Marina, California to witness their eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft take flight. With plans to operate like ubers in the sky, eVTOLs are the closest thing we have to flying cars—and they could be a commercial reality by 2025. The companies creating them promise a faster and greener mode of transportation, but who’s investing in them? Are they safe? And how will they change our transportation infrastructure? We’ll discuss these questions and more with Eric Allison (Joby Aviation); Andrew Beebe (Obvious Ventures); and Doug Carlson and Alex Innes-Whitehouse (pilots affiliated with Cambridge Associates).

According to scientists, 30,000 species per year are being driven towards extinction and 50% of all species could be extinct by 2050 due to climate change. But what if there was something we could do, in addition to conservation, to change this trajectory? That’s what the scientists and engineers at Colossal Biosciences are working towards: reversing extinction. Using CRISPR and advanced gene editing techniques, they plan to bring back the woolly mammoth and the dodo bird to help combat climate change and complement existing conservation efforts. Join us to discuss this topic with Ben Lamm (Colossal Biosciences); Tom Chi (At One Ventures); and John Calvelli (Wildlife Conservation Society).

Harnessing fusion power has been an elusive goal of physicists and researchers for decades. However, recent scientific advances are helping to make that goal a reality. Described as a star in a bottle, fusion is what powers our sun and stars, offering us the prospect of limitless clean energy. But here on earth, it has presented unresolved engineering challenges—until now. Commonwealth Fusion Systems is on the brink of delivering commercial fusion energy thanks to their revolutionary magnet. But how does a safe, limitless, carbon-free, fusion power plant operate? What does it look like? How and when will this technology be replicated to meet the world’s energy needs? We’ll learn more from Bob Mumgaard (Commonwealth Fusion Systems); Katie Rae (The Engine); and Theresa Hajer (Cambridge Associates).

Oceans make up 72% of the earth’s surface and have absorbed around 40% of carbon emissions since 1840. As such, investors are increasingly putting capital to work in ocean-based businesses to both mitigate climate change and enhance the Blue Economy—but how? In this episode, we visit Running Tide in Portland, ME to see this concept in action. They use advanced aquatic growing systems and data science to grow shellfish and kelp forests. The result? A highly nutritious, sustainable protein and a natural carbon removal system. Join us to dissect this topic with Marty Odlin and Adam Baske (Running Tide); Marc von Keitz (Grantham Foundation for Protection of the Environment); Sidney McLaurin (Material Impact); and Sarah Edwards (Cambridge Associates).

In this episode, we meet Diamond Foundry, a company revolutionizing the diamond industry with their affordable, lab-created diamonds—free from the myriad of problems associated with the mining process. We’ll learn about the social and environmental impacts of this exploding industry and how investors are rethinking the carbon footprints of their portfolios. We’ll hear from Mona Akhavi (Diamond Foundry); James Joaquin (Obvious Ventures); Dame Caroline Mason (Esmee Fairbairn Foundation); and Simon Hallett (Cambridge Associates).

For most of human history, we’ve been cutting down trees. However, the acceleration of carbon credit markets and the societal demand for climate solutions are pushing us to re-think our relationship with them. So how can investors earn a compelling return from planting trees while helping to sequester carbon and increase biodiversity? We’ll travel to Broadclyst, England to experience the innovation surrounding reforestation and how one organization has the lofty goal of planting 20 million trees in less than 10 years. We’ll hear from Mark Wishnie (BTG Pactual); Peter Vermeulen (The National Trust); Phillip Smart (The Killerton Estate); and Annachiara Marcandalli (Cambridge Associates).

Livestock take up nearly 80% of global agricultural land yet produce only 20% of the world’s supply of calories—so how can we make feeding people more efficient? In this season two premiere of Unseen Upside, we visit an alternative protein company in Boulder, Colorado called Meati. There, we explore how a nutrient-rich fungi called mycelium is changing the game when it comes to protein consumption. It’s better for people and the planet—yet somehow doesn’t compromise on flavor. We’ll learn about the future of nutritional ecosystems from Sam Kass (Acre Venture Partners); David Chang (Momofuku); Tyler Huggins (Meati); and Chavon Sutton (Cambridge Associates).

There’s a maternal health crisis in the United States, with high rates of maternal mortality, especially among marginalized communities. But what is being done to improve it? 

Through conversations with those on the front lines, we uncover the stark health inequities that exist in maternal healthcare and the developments created to tackle them. We also hear from mothers who have firsthand experience with Preeclampsia—a serious pregnancy complication and one of the many causes of maternal mortality— and one company on a quest to cure it.

What does it take to build something that lasts for generations?

In this special crossover episode from Cambridge Conversations, we explore how bold vision, patient capital, and a deep commitment to community helped transform San Antonio’s Pearl district from a shuttered brewery into a thriving destination.

Host Willis Wilson hands the mic to Unseen Upside host Hillary Ribaudo, who travels to San Antonio to speak with Bryant Ambelang, CEO of Silver Ventures (CA client); Shawn Hatter, President of Oxbow Development Group; and Mary Jo Palermo, Partner at Cambridge Associates.

Together, they unpack how a family’s commitment to place, culture, and community helped shape a “100-year business,” and what it takes to support that vision through market cycles, development challenges, and changing needs over time.

You’ll hear:

• How Pearl evolved from a historic brewery into a thriving mixed-use destination
• Why patient capital and long-term thinking were critical to its success
• How liquidity, risk, and portfolio decisions helped support an ambitious vision
• What investors can learn from building for both community impact and lasting value
