Breakthrough Energy
node
A fund that looks like a normal investment firm also gives away free money through a side project.
Who they are
Breakthrough Energy, founded in 2015 by Bill Gates and announced at the United Nations Climate Change Conference[1].
What they do
The record calls it a traditional for-profit fund with a 'catalyst' venture that is very risk willing and basically handing out free money.
How it works
Gates himself has invested $2bn in the for-profit fund. The catalyst program is described as a new model for public-private sector partnership, bringing together businesses, governments, philanthropists and individuals to invest in critical climate technologies. It is linked to Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder, through the Epstein Network. The record does not establish Gates's current role or control.
Why it matters
It shows how a for-profit fund can also operate a venture that gives away money, mixing private investment with public and philanthropic efforts.
