In the third of a series of comments from some of C3’s newest partners, Builders Vision offers insight on C3 and what is needed from impact investors at this moment.
Why join C3?
At Builders Vision, we invest innovative capital to build a more resilient future, as the global transitions in food and agriculture, energy, and oceans spark multi-trillion dollar opportunities. That’s why we joined the Catalytic Capital Consortium (C3). As a cross-cutting initiative blending investment and field-building, C3 creates the connective tissue needed to accelerate climate and nature solutions in places and markets where traditional capital often doesn’t reach.
Builders Vision supports C3’s work through our investment and philanthropic teams because we see catalytic capital as more than just flexible financing – it’s a tool for systems change. C3’s regional peer groups, thematic working groups, and communities of practice complement Builders Vision’s work to move markets forward and invest in what the future demands.
What is the role of catalytic capital in this moment of increasing global uncertainty?
For investors, the call to action is clear: the status quo is no longer sufficient. We need more investors willing to absorb risk, anchor new models, and extend the time horizons for impact. To achieve this, we must deploy capital with greater creativity, urgency, and intention, and that means leaning into catalytic tools that generate financial returns and fuel innovative solutions. Builders Vision is proud to be part of a community doing just that.
