Quantified Ventures

Our national RFI revealed what’s holding the market back: a missing middle of project developers who can translate promising concepts into investable deals. Absent that, we'll continue to celebrate paper timelines while forests burn.
Shaun O'Rourke delves into the missing middle in our latest blog.

Let’s Stop Pretending Capital Will Flow to Nature-Based Solutions on Its Own | Quantified Ventures Billions in climate capital are earmarked for nature-based solutions, yet little of it reaches the ground, because too few projects are truly investment-ready. What’s holding the market back? A missin...

We need to face a hard truth about climate capital earmarked for nature-based solutions: it's simply not moving like it should. The investor interest is there, the ideas are there - so why aren't dollars reaching many projects on the ground?

Our Jean D. joins Ashley Lucht for a Lead Service Line Replacement case study presentation at the final SRF Office Hours session of 2025, next Monday, December 15.

We worked with the Michigan Municipal League Foundation to develop and test strategies for replacing lead-tainted lines in 2 Michigan cities. Read the full case study: www.quantifiedventures.com/michigan-lea...

More than 50% of American children under the age of 6 have lead present in their blood. There is no such thing as a safe blood lead level, and the long term impacts of exposure can be detrimental and lifelong.

We were excited to bring our team together in Vermont last week for important conversations about priorities for the remainder of the year and to workshop big ideas heading into 2026!

Raising awareness is a great start, but we should all be taking action as well. How are you taking action today? Let us know in the comments. Ready to work together on a project that moves the needle? Let's connect and get to work.

Today is International Day of Climate Action. Each and every one of us have a stake in this fight and it's imperative that we use our voices to create the momentum necessary to make our climate more resilient and sustainable.

Our Shaun O'Rourke is featured in this recent piece from Pew Research Center about how nature-based approaches to disaster resilience can yield serious benefits at the state and local level.

The Western U.S. is facing a monumental water crisis and pressure is mounting on holders of water rights (and land rights) throughout the Colorado River Basin. Land trusts are a crucial tool in protecting both agricultural lands and the water rights associated with those properties.
