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.
