Amazon Investor Coalition

5. Limited demand for Amazonian products from corporate buyers

  • Too few long-term purchase contracts that help producers and entrepreneurs to access finance for impact business.
  • Delayed returns due to delayed profitability of restoration and agroforestry.
  • Limited research and awareness of the cornucopia of commercially viable Amazonian biodiversity.
  • Lack of price stability and transparency.

4. Limited connectivity between global investors and regional opportunities

  • International private sector investors lack access to high-potential deal flow from the Amazon.
  • Amazon entrepreneurs lack experience with investor communications.
  • Lack of trust and connective tissue between global investors and Amazon entrepreneurs / producers.
  • Inefficient matchmaking systems between Amazon incubator/accelerator portfolios, angel investor appetite, and ecosystem  requirements.

3. Insufficient risk capital and catalytic philanthropy

  • Limited philanthropy and matching political will to combat illegal deforestation by enforcing the rule of law.
  • Insufficient catalytic capital to derisk private investment and make early projects bankable.
  • Incomplete project  development funding to scale carbon finance systems from local levels to jurisdictions.
  • Lack of community wealth reciprocity to ensure that investments foster local  prosperity while reducing  inequality and thwarting  deforestation incentives.

2. Lack of market data and coordination

  • Poor market data  transparency for investors and offtakers  (projects, products, prices, historicals).
  • Global finance players lack understanding of regional context, opportunities, and risk mitigation.
  • Knowledge silos across countries.
  • Limited peer-to-peer learning across the capital stack.

1. UNDERDEVELOPED MARKET INFRASTRUCTURE

  • Weakened investment-ready impact business pipeline and underdeveloped innovation ecosystem.
  • Local companies are far from markets and limited by logistical and transportation challenges.
  • Weak regulatory environment, insecure land rights, poor law enforcement, risks to the rule of law.
  • Systemic barriers for female producers and entrepreneurs.
