Troy has spent his career looking for ways to move capital toward things he believes should exist in the world. Before founding Earthshot Labs in 2020, he worked across renewable energy, agriculture, project development, and finance and co-founded RIZOME, a bamboo building materials company. Those experiences, along with a growing conviction that markets could be used to finance ecosystem restoration at enormous scale, became the foundation for Earthshot. Today, Earthshot’s portfolio includes more than 70 carbon projects spanning 2.9 million hectares of conservation, with more than $1 billion in projected lifetime revenue to communities. Troy is a three-time founder and has raised more than $100 million into projects. He holds a BA in Economics from Stanford University.
