Dragonfly Ventures
A mission driven family office contributing to a toxic-free planet with humanity living synergistically with each other, the earth, her creatures and spirit. Dragonfly Ventures achieves this goal through investments (public and private), philanthropy and collaborations with a focus on four interrelated areas that we feel are ripe for intervention and in which we can play an active role: toxic elimination, freshwater conservation, climate resilience, and land and soil health. We approach our work from a set of shared values including diversity, equity, disruption, intuition, learning, and collaboration. Our family office includes both in house staff and advisors. Our in house team includes two Co-CEOs, a CFO and an Executive Assistant. Our team of advisors includes expertise in investments, tax, legal and coaching. We use a diverse suite of financial tools to achieve our mission, investing across all asset classes as well as philanthropy. Below is an example of some of our investments.
