Secret Trees

About The Fund

Secret Trees is an investment fund that specializes in utilizing the potential of industrial hemp to promote environmental sustainability and social development. They focus on replacing products that harm the environment with hemp-based alternatives that are carbon-positive and environmentally friendly. Secret Trees is dedicated to reversing the ecological crisis and preserving the world for future generations. With a clear environmental impact solution, they encourage the use of renewable materials made of hemp, incorporating technology to replace damaging products and processes. Their governance system allows the community to vote on accessing and supporting environmental and sustainable hemp projects, which are seen as crucial for the planet's health. Secret Trees champions the growth, manufacturing, and supply of hemp globally to minimize the carbon footprint and share benefits with the community that supports their initiatives. Recognizing hemp as a misunderstood yet incredibly versatile plant, they aim to unlock its potential as a source of fiber, oil, fuel, protein, and its ability to capture carbon emissions. Their product innovation extends to creating biodegradable plastics from hemp cellulose, producing high-quality textiles as a sustainable alternative to cotton and synthetic fibers, building materials like hempcrete which is beneficial for health and unfriendly to pesticides, and developing carbon nanosheets and supercapacitors from hemp bark. Furthermore, hemp seed oil is valued for its use in diesel engines and its high conversion rate to biodiesel. Secret Trees also operates a Hemp Planting Initiative (HPI) where they collect platform transaction fees and use governance votes to store CO2 efficiently. With the belief in community and partnership, they welcome collaborations aimed at changing the world. The investment profile of Secret Trees lies in their specialty areas of Pre-Seed and Seed funding, focusing on industries such as PropTech, Hardware (& Manufacturing), Energy, IoT (& Wearables), CleanTech, GovTech, Impact, and Real Estate (& Construction). Their investment range is from a minimum of €2000 to a maximum of €3000, with a sweet spot at €2000.
