As a result, trillions of dollars of investment have gone into resource-related technologies to reduce the cost of both producing and using those resources. McKinsey is calling this the Resource Revolution -how can we use technology to do more with less of our natural resources? Thanks to these now-standard resource-related technologies, distributed, networked infrastructure is the most cost-effective and reliable way to produce critical resources (energy, food, water, materials). We believe that we can solve the world's resource issues and we don't need to reinvent the world to do so. We need to rebuild it. While some focus on finding new and revolutionary tools, we rebuild resource systems with the high-impact, economic, and proven solutions we have today.Up until now, new energy asset finance (a $300B annual market) has been dominated by larger-scale projects that tend to attract traditional capital sources. Generate Capital, on the other hand, is focused on being a capital partner to lower middle market project developers and solution providers that are typically overlooked by traditional financiers for a variety of reasons: asset size, underwriting complexity, project duration and perhaps above all, the recent increases in regulation and overhead for those banks and public sector finance entities. As a long-term investor with truly permanent capital, Generate Capital provides a standardized origination and underwriting engine that results in profitable funding for these smaller deals and aggregates them to sufficient size for leverage, securitization or other forms of liquidity.With a $4B pipeline of projects, completed transactions totaling over $400M and a utility-like, pay-as-you-go model (which we call Infrastructure-as-a-ServiceTM), Generate Capital has quickly established itself as a pioneer and leader in this enormous market.
