Scott Jacobs

CEO and Co-Founder Generate Capital San Francisco

Scott Jacobs is the CEO and Co-Founder of Generate Capital, an investment and operating platform focused on sustainable infrastructure. Founded in 2014, Generate Capital has partnered with leading project developers and technology solutions to drive the “resource revolution” – doing more with less in our energy, water, waste and food systems – building and operating hundreds of millions of dollars of infrastructure in distributed generation, waste transformation, and sustainable transport. Generate’s pioneering permanent-capital structure enables a novel alignment of interests and makes it a true partner with a uniquely long-term mindset.

In 2007, Scott joined McKinsey & Company to co-found its global CleanTech practice, where he advised major corporations and leading innovators, institutional investors, NGOs and several national and regional governments around the world. Before McKinsey, Scott spent over a decade in technology and venture capital, helping start and grow a number of companies, including PolyServe (acquired by HP) and Alliance Data Systems (acquired by FiServ).

Scott received his MBA with high distinction from Harvard Business School, where he was named a George F. Baker Scholar, and his BA cum laude from Dartmouth College. Scott lives in San Francisco, enjoys a range of outdoor activities and frequents the local farmers’ markets on weekends in order to create feasts for his family and friends.
