In a world where the focus is shifting towards sustainability and responsible investing, a burning question arises: Is regenerative agriculture the future of sustainable investing?

In this episode of the BizMafia podcast, we sit down with Pete Oberle, the co-founder and managing director of Trailhead Capital. Trailhead Capital is a mission-driven early stage venture capital firm dedicated to generating outstanding financial, societal, and ecological returns by supporting entrepreneurs who are building the regenerative future of food and agriculture.

Pete's tale is one of fervor and resolve. Hailing from a bulge bracket financial and private equity background, he found his true calling in venture capital, driven by a deep-seated ambition to enhance human well-being and confront the imminent challenges posed in the regenerative food and agriculture space. Pete generously shares his insights on the economic gains and technological strides that are propelling this sector forward.

Don't pass up on this chance to broaden your horizons. Tune in, stay engaged, and let's embark on this journey together.
