Odyssey works with, advises, and invests in early stage technology ventures driving change within the real asset industries, focused on infrastructure and natural resources. With experience in private equity, project finance, and asset lending, the Odyssey team focuses on in-depth diligence, capital structure advisory, and coinvestment optimization when underwriting each opportunity. Sustainability can be an important consideration in capital allocation decisions - formerly known as Green Atlas Consulting, Odyssey also advises companies and investors on the best manner in which to consider factors such as ESG, impact, and corporate responsibility into investment and business strategy. Operating responsibly is a journey - our goal is to help management teams identify what they are already doing and build a strategic narrative that aligns their impact and sustainability mandate with their commercial mandate. We also focus on empowering employees, creating a culture of sustainability, and building financial products geared towards a dual mandate of commercial and impact returns.
