Mission-Driven Investments for a Sustainable Future Our investors and startups are united by a shared mission: creating a sustainable, animal-friendly future through alternative proteins and climate-friendly subverticals. Hear from David Benzaquen on how GlassWall has made a difference to him: "Since the earliest days of plant-based and alternative protein investing, the GlassWall Syndicate has provided a home for so many of us who wish to put our capital into companies we can be proud to support. Being part of the network has allowed me to meet the most amazing, mission-driven investors and countless game-changing startups. And, as a newer investor, being part of the syndicate helps me to make better investment decisions because I share due diligence efforts with so many other strategic minds." If you’re looking for impactful investment opportunities or need support to take your startup to the next level, we invite you to learn more at glasswallsyndicate.org.

We're saddened to share that Material Innovation Initiative (MII) is winding down its operations. MII co-founded our Next-Gen Materials Committee and has been a partner to the EGC since its inception, providing invaluable resources and scientific guidance to the GlassWall network. Their expertise and support have inspired numerous investments in the next-gen materials space, accelerating our shared mission for a more sustainable future for all. We celebrate the remarkable growth MII has achieved over the past five years, as their impact will continue to resonate within the GlassWall network and far beyond.
After five transformative years, it's with mixed emotions that we announce the wind-down of the Material Innovation Initiative (MII). As we close this chapter, we celebrate our incredible journey and the exponential growth of the next-gen materials industry. Key achievements: - Catalyzed over $2.31 billion in investments for next-gen materials - Published groundbreaking research, including our U.S. Consumer Research showing 92% consumer interest in next-gen products - Facilitated nearly 400 collaborations between brands and next-gen material companies in 2023 alone - Grew the next-gen materials sector from 102 companies in 2022 to 141 in 2023 While MII's journey ends here, our mission to accelerate the development of sustainable, high-performance materials continues through the incredible momentum we've built together. To our stakeholders, partners, and supporters: thank you for believing in our vision and working alongside us to create a better world for humans, animals, and the planet. The future of materials is bright, and we're proud to have played a part in shaping it. Let's keep innovating for a more sustainable tomorrow!
