Thesis
Juniper is the bio-industrial fund. We invest in bio-manufacturing to revolutionize material, food, and industrial production. Led by founders-turned investors Jenny Kan and Michael Luciani, the fund is built on Jenny’s expertise as a PhD chemist and lead protein engineer in a Nobel Laureate’s synthetic biology lab, Michael’s deal flow network from building the Climate Capital Syndicate into the world’s most active climate investor, and their experiences as venture backed founders. In 2021 and 2022 Jenny and Michael led 30 investments together - currently marked up 4.0x. If this were a fund portfolio, the performance would be in the 99th percentile of all 2021 vintage funds. Deploying from oversubscribed fund I now.
