INSTRUMENT ANALYSIS

Regenera Ventures is a 10-year equity fund targeting the Mexican agricultural sector to build climate resilience through regenerative management. The fund utilizes redeemable equity and technical assistance to bridge financing gaps for SMEs and startups across the regenerative value chain, including direct production, added-value processes, market game-changers, and regenerative infrastructure. It aims to mobilize USD 20-26 million in private capital and plans to scale to other Latin American countries, such as Colombia, within 4 to 5 years.

• Regenera Ventures is structured as a USD 20-30 million equity fund with a 10-year term and a two-year extension option, utilizing a limited partner-general partner (LP-GP) structure.
• The fund primarily employs redeemable equity, a results-based financing mechanism where companies receive an equity-like investment and later repurchase shares using returns generated from the transition to regenerative management.
• The fund targets four specific investment verticals in the regenerative value chain: direct production engagement, added-value processes, market game-changers, and regenerative infrastructure.
• Quantitative modeling indicates that redeemable equity provides higher profitability ratios and better liquidity in the first three years compared to debt financing, as there is no immediate repayment burden.
• The fund has the potential to mobilize between USD 20-26 million in private capital and aims to de-risk equity-type investments by improving liquidity and reducing reliance on secondary market buyers for exits.
• The fund's climate impact strategy focuses on four priority areas: improving soil health and cleaning water for adaptation, and reducing pesticide usage and waste/energy consumption for mitigation.
• While the first fund focuses exclusively on Mexico, the model is designed for replication in other Latin American countries, specifically Colombia, within a 4 to 5 year timeframe.
