New Life
an invitation
The future is not something we wait for—it’s something we build. And if we’re serious about building a future worth living in, then we need to get serious about the materials that will shape it.
VIDA NOVA is one of our responses at Project MIRACLE to this moment. A fund designed not just to invest in returns, but to invest in regeneration—of land, of systems, of possibility. It channels capital into the very materials that will house the next billion people displaced by a planet in crisis. Not just with less harm, but with healing embedded into every structure.
We see the writing on the wall. Between 216 million and 1.2 billion people will lose their homes to climate disruption by mid-century. This isn’t abstract. This is now. The housing market of tomorrow isn’t a niche—it’s a necessity, and it’s projected to reach over €275 trillion in demand. Within this, regenerative construction materials represent one of the most explosive and vital opportunities of our time.
At VIDA NOVA, we (em)power very early-stage ventures developing radically scalable, nature-inspired technologies—biomaterials, structural innovations, supply chain disruptors—that reduce cost and environmental load while increasing resilience and dignity. Think bamboo, mycelium, algae, earth. Think closed loops. Think homes that breathe, grow, and eventually return to the soil.
Our approach borrows from what we’ve learned in the digital revolution: open-access infrastructure leads to scale. We’re using the same model—only this time it’s for life.
We call our exit strategy Exit to Planet (as described in previous posts). Instead of chasing traditional exits, we work with sovereign wealth and pension funds to buy the IP at full value—then release it into the commons, where it can serve everyone. It’s a liquidity path rooted in purpose, not extraction.
We’re backed by an extraordinary team—visionaries, strategists, ecologists, investors, architects, technologists—each of us bringing decades of lived experience building the foundations for a heliogenic civilization. This is not theory. It’s happening.
With fund sizes between €2.5 and €5 million and investment tickets from €150,000–€300,000, we’re positioned for early, catalytic impact. We target >3X MOIC over 5–7 years. But more than that, we target a world where finance no longer accelerates collapse—but underwrites regeneration.
VIDA NOVA means new life. This is our bet on that. And if you’re reading this, perhaps it’s your invitation too.
