FORCE Family Office

A team of scientists, environmentalists, engineers, architects, and business leaders from The Metals Company see the climate crisis as the biggest challenge of our time. Electric vehicles and renewable energy are a key part of the solution, but scaling these technologies will require hundreds of millions of tons of new metals. Polymetallic nodules represent the cleanest source of battery grade metals on the planet and the best path forward. For over a decade, The Metals Company has been exploring the planet’s largest known deposit of battery-grade metals: nodules on the seafloor of the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean. During this time, their onshore team has developed and successfully run a metallurgical process to derive key battery metals from these remarkable rocks while generating zero solid processing waste. Sign up to be part of our FORCE Family Office Fireside Chat with The Metals Company Chief Financial Officer, Craig Shesky who can talk about the organization’s progress and how their unique solution to harvesting these nodules creates a lower environmental impact than land-based mining.

Question for the community: As family offices continue to embrace innovation and impact, how do you see their strategies influencing broader market trends? For example, here are four ways we're seeing family offices adapt to rapid changes in markets and demographics: 1?? Alternatives Gaining Ground: Family offices are increasingly exploring alternative investments like private equity and venture capital, driven by the need for diversification amid volatile public markets. These vehicles align well with long-term goals and intergenerational wealth transfer strategies. 2?? Generational Shifts: As younger family members take on leadership roles, investment priorities are evolving. There’s greater interest in sustainable and impact-driven portfolios, reflecting values-based decision-making and a focus on ESG. This trend is reshaping how family office offerings are structured. 3?? Risk Management: Geopolitical and financial risks are driving a sharper focus on analytics and performance tracking. Family offices are leveraging advanced tech and data tools to navigate these complexities and align portfolio performance with strategic objectives. 4?? Emerging Companies and Industries: Consistent with our latest posts and updates, family offices are still gravitating toward industries like AI, healthcare innovation, and sustainable impact investments. Top players, such as Emerson Collective and Hillspire, are setting the pace with substantial investments in startups like Pacific Fusion and Holistic AI. Are we heading towards a paradigm shift?

Family offices are no longer just interested in startups — they’re shaping the future of industries through their strategic bets. As we wind down 2024, some fascinating trends are emerging, highlighting how family offices are deploying capital and where they see the most promise: ??? Co-Investing for Smarter Deals The growing trend of co-investing is reshaping how families approach venture capital. Many family offices are partnering with VCs to gain expertise, reduce risk, and secure access to the best deals. ?? AI Dominates the Stage AI is the top category for family offices this year, and it shows no signs of slowing down. According to the UBS Global Wealth Management Family Office Report, 78% of family offices plan to invest in AI in the next two to three years, focusing on applications like generative AI, AI-driven diagnostics, and environmental tech. ??? Healthcare, Biotech, and Sustainability Families like Eric Schmidt’s Hillspire are funding biotech and energy startups with a lens on AI's role in these sectors.

Partnering for The Future of Healthcare Innovation: Insights from Our Collaboration with Johnson & Johnson’s JLABS. We were thrilled to collaborate with Johnson & Johnson’s JLABS for a Family Office Investing and Innovation Day, where we gained valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of healthcare opportunities. Key takeaways: - Family Offices are keenly aware that they no longer need to invest in a biotech company and hope that 10 years and a billion dollars later the company may get FDA approval. Instead, they actively seek M&A exits after a successful Phase I or II. Additionally, they can find liquidity in international licensing deals, etc. - Licensing molecules from the NIH can be a very cost-effective avenue for innovation. - The hunt for the next GLP-1 blockbuster is on and this class of drugs has reset the bar in regards to what is a desirable TAM. As our family office community continues to expand, we’re hosting exclusive family office only breakfasts, similar to this event, aimed at keeping families informed and aligned with transformative connections. Our next event is in Dallas on 12/4. Visit our website to learn more. Let’s keep driving innovation together; one relationship at a time.

Family offices can play a crucial role in bringing new healthcare technologies to market. It's not just because of access to capital - it's because there is flexibility and often a willingness to support innovative ventures. But we're also seeing family offices leverage their networks to connect startups with key industry players. They are helping to facilitate partnerships and collaboration that accelerate market entry. This combination of resources, vision, and commitment can bridge the gap between innovation and commercialization. This week we will host online events on behalf of FORCE Family Office's #medtech, #biotech, and healthcare technology clients to help family offices gain insights into companies driving change. ??
