Ventures
The Evergreen Fund invests in entrepreneurs and teams who have a clear vision of how to effect positive environmental change, combined with the experience, hard work and commitment to deliver on this. When relevant, we also provide advice and support through Ground Control and our wider network to help these visionary social entrepreneurs succeed.
The Fund directly invests in Seed, Series A and higher, but avoids pre-seed or investments in fee-bearing funds. Our investments range in size from £10,000 to £500,000.
Our definition of 'positive environmental change' relates to five specific measures:
Every investment we make must contribute to at least one of these measures, and will ideally contribute to more than one.
We will consider investments that meet the following criteria:
Ventures with a positive, measurable, sustainable impact on the environment
Passionate, experienced Founder(s) who are fully committed to the venture and have succeeded in building a strong team
Proven and sustainable business and revenue model
Domain knowledge and a competitive advantage in their marketplace
Opportunity and vision to scale
