Matthew Moroney is an entrepreneur, investor, and published scientist based between Amsterdam and New York. He founded Fintropic, an agentic finance AI platform, and serves as Senior Advisor and equity holder in Visage, an AI modeling and simulation platform. He is also convening a small residency on a private estate in California, at the intersection of nature, science, finance, and the arts.

Matthew's published work spans three distinct fields. In AI and quantitative finance, a 2026 paper in Entropy with Samuel Montañez Jacquez and John Clippinger formalizes an adaptive-inference framework for investing agents operating under genuine uncertainty. In data science and environmental economics, his 2024 paper in PLoS ONE with John Brandt, Angel Hsu, and colleagues quantifies the relationship between air pollution and consumer spending across Spain. In chemistry and business, his 2022 paper in Green Chemistry with Paul Anastas, Matthew Eckelman, Julie Zimmerman, and scientists at The Estée Lauder Companies introduced the Green Score methodology now deployed across ELC's global product portfolio.

Previously, Matthew co-founded Raise Green; the first SEC- and FINRA-registered crowdfunding platform for climate infrastructure, which executed forty-plus securities offerings before being acquired in 2024. He continues to serve as Director of Accelerator Operations for the Yale-UNIDO Global GreenChem Accelerator, a six-country program funded by the Global Environment Facility, and as a Senior Advisor to Quantified Ventures on climate and infrastructure project finance. From 2023 to 2025, as Head of Sustainable Finance at Metabolic, he founded and ran The Missing Trillions — a year-long cross-institutional series convened at COP28 Dubai, the World Economic Forum in Davos, London Climate Action Week, and Climate Week NYC. In 2022, on the invitation of the Associate Dean, he created and led a semester-long graduate course on Financing Decarbonization at the Yale School of the Environment.

Matthew's earlier career grounded him in the operational and investigative disciplines his practice still draws on. He conducted Arctic permafrost research with the Woods Hole Research Center on a Siberian expedition, and spent four years as a senior environmental scientist at Landau Associates leading Phase I and Phase II site investigations across contaminated industrial properties in the Pacific Northwest — where he also developed R-based statistical methods for air-quality permitting of data centers.

Through Interlaken Associates, Matthew takes on select consulting engagements — typically in project finance structuring, venture strategy and operations, data modeling and software deployments, and investment workflows from sourcing to deployment. His work has mobilized over $25M in public and private finance, from venture investors, angels, international organizations, and retail investors.

He holds a Master of Environmental Management from the Yale School of the Environment, a professional certificate in Statistical Analysis from the University of Washington, and a BS in Environmental Science with a chemistry minor from Western Washington University, where he helped establish the Institute for Energy Studies.
