Columbia SIPA's Sustainable Investing Research Initiative (SIRI) is thrilled to partner with Regeneration.VC to launch a summer internship program focused on impact investing and planetary boundaries. This program connects top graduate talent from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) and other graduate programs with leading VC investors and their portfolio companies.
Both Greta Bertozzini (Regeneration.VC, Associate) and Caroline Flammer Ph.D. (Founding Director of SIRI, A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Economics, and SIPA’s Vice Dean for Research and Faculty Affairs) are excited about this partnership, highlighting its significance to both Regeneration.VC and Columbia.
“We have been working with Greta and the Regeneration team for more than a year now, and they have been a very special partner to SIRI. We are super excited to launch with them this first-ever Regenerative Systems VC Internship Program here at SIPA and Columbia. In today’s world, it is essential to educate and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and investors to work towards planetary and human health. This impact VC summer internship program aims to do exactly that. We very much look forward to continue expanding our partnership with Regeneration.VC in the future.” Caroline Flammer Ph.D. (Founding Director of SIRI, A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Economics, and SIPA’s Vice Dean for Research and Faculty Affairs)
"When I learned about the Sustainable Investing Research Initiative at SIPA, I had to connect with Professor Caroline— and this is how everything started. Their work on system-level investing pushing for a deeper understanding of complex systems is critical in our work as venture investors, and so is bridging academia with real-world change. I am pleased to create this opportunity for students who want to work for something that gives back more than what you put in. Excited for everything else to come with Caroline at SIRI and my broader engagement with Columbia.” Greta Bertozzini (Regeneration.VC Associate)
