About Jason W. Ingle

Jason W. Ingle is a 5th-generation Ford family member who chairs the family office board while serving as Founder and Managing Partner of Third Nature Investments, positioning himself as an earth systems investor who looks at interdependencies across oceans, land, atmosphere, freshwater, and the biosphere rather than single-point climate tech solutions. He previously co-founded Closed Loop Capital as one of the earliest specialized venture funds in agtech and food system innovation, backing pioneers in biological fertilizers, fermentation and plant-based proteins before those categories became mainstream VC sectors, and now uses a field-building mindset to design integrated capital platforms that move entire markets rather than only individual startups.

Jason W. Ingle's Interests

What they've been talking about across their social media accounts
  • Deep interest in the future of food systems and sustainable agriculture. He consistently tracks innovations intended to feed a growing global population, ranging from plant-based shifts like Beyond Meat to high-tech farming methods involving CRISPR technology.
  • Focus on supply chain transparency and ethics, particularly within the seafood industry. He highlights how technologies like blockchain and satellite mapping can be utilized to verify food sources and combat issues like slave labor or illegal fishing fleets.
  • Strong engagement with climate action and environmental preservation. He follows global ecological challenges closely, sharing news on everything from the melting glaciers in Antarctica to water scarcity crises in major cities like Cape Town.
  • Attention to the intersection of mobility and clean energy. He looks at how the automotive industry is evolving through electric and hydrogen technologies, such as Toyota turning manure into fuel, while also noting the data privacy implications of connected vehicles.
  • Advocacy for impact investing and conscientious capitalism. He explores how financial markets are shifting to accommodate social responsibility and how investors can effectively tackle systemic societal issues rather than focusing solely on traditional returns.

Third Nature is a venture capital fund that uses an "earth systems investing" approach, targeting the interdependencies of oceans, land, atmosphere, freshwater, and the biosphere rather than focusing on isolated climate problems or "silver bullet" solutions. The firm operates as a multi-stage, venture-building platform with an integrated capital model designed to move entire systems and markets, not just fund individual startups, and concentrates its investments around seaweed- and ocean-based biomaterials and food companies.
