S2:E9 – From Funds to Capital Orchestration with Ivana Gazibara from the TransCap Initiative
What is systemic investing, and how does capital orchestration move real dollars to real acres?
Ivana Gazibara, Director of Prototyping at the Transformational Capital Initiative (TransCap), joins Sami and Patrick to unpack their Midwest blueprint for scaling regenerative agriculture.
We cover TransCap’s transition map (and some of the barriers it surfaced), why another fund isn’t enough, and how a neutral platform can align philanthropy, catalytic, and commercial capital around shovel-ready deals.
We also touch on metrics of success and why capital deployed is less important than acres impacted.
