Dear Bamboo Enthusiasts,
I am excited to let you know about an important project I have been working on for some time. As you know, I have a long-term commitment to protecting the environment, and 25 years ago, those green-focused ideals led us to create Bamboo Living.
Today we’re announcing Bamboo Living’s sister company, RIZOME.
RIZOME is implementing one of the most powerful strategies for addressing the climate crisis by developing engineered bamboo products as replacements for wood, concrete, and steel.
As Bill Gates notably said:
“The number of buildings in the world is going to double by 2060. It is like we are going to build a new New York City every month for the next 40 years. It’s a gigantic amount of materials. Steel, cement, wood, all emitting greenhouse gases. We are going to have to figure out how to make all these things in a different way.”
With RIZOME, we are creating that different way.
Last year we opened our first production facility in the Philippines, and we already have a commitment for the entire output of bamboo materials that we can produce there.
We now have an opportunity to expand our production capacity and broaden our product line and this is a chance for you to invest in what matters. Below you’ll find a short presentation, a memo, and a term sheet for those of you who are interested in becoming part of bamboo history. Together we can make a global change that benefits all of humanity!
It is a pivotal time for the planet, and RIZOME is scaling one of the largest and most profitable solutions to climate change. To accelerate our manufacturing and bamboo planting operations, we're offering 12% interest on your 3-year investment loan plus generous stock options upon completion. There is a $25k minimum to join in this investment round, and with your help we can roll back the clock on climate change and work to heal the planet.
Please reach out directly to RIZOME’s fundraising manager Troy Carter at troy@rizomeco.com or at 808-278-0895 if you are interested or have any questions, and you can also include our founder David Sands at david@rizomeco.com.
As I have been spending more time on RIZOME these days, Ciro Podany has become the Lead Project Architect at Bamboo Living. Ciro has worked closely with me for some years now, and he will continue to support our clients and design the best bamboo buildings on the planet.
Bamboo Living is working with RIZOME to create a new series of home designs, furniture, and home furnishings that use the dimensional bamboo materials which RIZOME is developing. We will be rolling out a number of new designs in the near future, and we can’t wait to share them with you!
We will soon be opening a Bamboo Living showroom in Pahoa, on the Big Island of Hawaii, to showcase our newest bamboo products. We look forward to having you visit us in our new space and seeing for yourself why bamboo is the future.
Thank you for your interest in our work and your continued support!
Stay Tuned!
All the Best,
David Sands
Founder
