If you feel that profit-making ventures are unable to be philanthropic, or that a concrete multi-storey hotel is the epitomy of luxury as long as they have the required number of stars; if you consider climate change to be an unfounded myth, believe creativity to be merely a corporate department, leave organic produce to the treehuggers, and put your profits above any costs, then our business is not for you. To everyone else, a warm welcome.
The Barefoot team seeks out, creates, supports, markets or manages opportunities for ventures in eco-tourism, green technology, truly sustainable travel & development, ethical & luxury lifestyle and related sectors. Led by a hands-on professional team, backed by thoughtful and interested investors who value profits alongside innovation, philanthropy, sustainability, ethics, ecological responsibility and creative excellence.
This is a time of opportunity for socially responsible, yet profitable business.
Barefoot’s Green Shoots fund successfully completes the first quarter with the launch of a new incubation hub for our ventures, and those of our partners. The first “Little Green Hub” opens on February 1st with a promise to provide “Space, Services & stuff” to ambitious start-ups, including two new Green Shoots ventures to be announced shortly.
Barefoot’s two Principal Partners have been invited to join the Philippines’ Department of Tourism delegation to MIPIM Asia, 2009, an exciting conference and exhibition event focused on real estate in Asia Pacific. It has been designed to encourage western investment and to facilitate deals across Asia Pacific between local investors. MIPIM Asia provides the professionals from the industry with a unique insight into the Asia Pacific market with world class conferences and an exceptional showcase of development projects from the region.
