Investing in Circular Economy Business Models with Jamie Butterworth
Welcome to the season finale of the Getting in the Loop Podcast! This season our theme has been ‘making circular business happen.' So far we've talked to companies and researchers working with circular business models specialized in repair and refurbishment. Now it's time to hear from another key player in the circular business ecosystem: that’s right, we’re talking about investing in circular businesses.
Jamie Butterworth of Circularity Capital joins us for this season's final instalment. Circularity Capital is a specialist private equity firm founded to provide clients access to investment opportunities created by the circular economy. You might be familiar with Jamie Butterworth as he was the first CEO of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, before going on to found Circularity Capital. In today’s episode, you’ll learn if investing in circular economy solutions is really that different from how we currently invest. You'll hear how Circularity Capital selects companies for its portfolio and the different investment challenges circular businesses face depending on their business model. Jamie also shares a bit about what it was like to be the first CEO of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and what has surprised him the most about the growing interest in circular economy over the past 10 years.
