From baseball cards at eight to billions in clean-energy financing, Palmetto’s founder has spent 15 years turning climate conviction into infrastructure - and keeping unusually candid notes on the cost.
John Manoochehri is the Founder and CEO of Treasury, a San Francisco-based registry and discovery system for the world's most valuable spatial assets - from architectural designs and film sets to real estate and world monuments. An architect and environmental scientist with an Oxford degree in ancient languages, he co-founded Treasury with Zaha Hadid Architects and Spaceform in 2022, securing backing from Google's AI fund Gradient Ventures. Before Treasury, he wrote policy frameworks for UNEP and WWF, ran a sustainable design firm working on Sweden's Kiruna city relocation, and launched Last Meter - an architectural tech company integrating circular consumption into real estate. He hosts two podcasts: Resource Talks and Futureperfect Talks (Epic Games-sponsored), and has taught architecture at KTH Stockholm.
