[edit] History
Generation was founded in 2004[1] and began investing client money in April 2005. With offices in London and New York,[1] the firm employs 45 people.[2] Generation's Advisory Board, convened by Gore, helps set Generation's long-term thematic research agenda into global sustainability and renewable energy issues. Past areas of focus have included climate change, poverty and development, ecosystem services and biodiversity, water scarcity, pandemics, demographics and migration, and urbanization.
In November 2007, Generation and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB) announced a global collaboration to "find, fund and accelerate green business, technology and policy solutions with the greatest potential to help solve the current climate crisis."[3] As part of the collaboration, prominent KPCB Partner John Doerr joined Generation's Advisory Board.
