EnVest is the world’s leading environmental impact investing event. Through an invitation-only format it connects the best environmental investors with the most compelling environmental companies and investment opportunities. The goal is to accelerate the environmental economy to help protect our planet, while generating returns for investors.

EnVest is built around key environmental economy segments. Both invited investors and presenting companies are selected based on their ability to impact: Energy & Transportation, Clean Air & Water, Forests & Wilderness, Food & Agriculture, Fisheries & Oceans, and Waste & Circular Economy.

EnVest is a passionate, carefully curated ecosystem of the world’s leading environmental investors, start-ups, and philanthropists who believe in the power of capitalism to revolutionize our protection of the environment. EnVest is not a research or educational event. There are no panels or speakers educating attendees about the world’s environmental challenges.

The event is meant to be an efficient way to deploy more capital into environmental companies and their innovations with the goal to generate $1 billion of early stage investing by 2030 through connections made at EnVest.

EnVest 2020 will be in San Francisco on 18-19 November 2020, with the environmental company pitches occurring on the 19th. EnVest has been held twice, in October 2017 in Seattle and November 2018 in San Francisco. These pilot events showed EnVest can drive significant early stage investment into the space, and can succeed across multiple geographies. We are seeking to host a series of events throughout the year to accelerate investment in the environmental economy.

$1000 for investors
$500 for presenting companies

Ticket price includes attendance, receptions, meals, and a pre-event dinner (for investors) at the annual main event as well as year-round membership in EnVest. Tickets are limited to those investors and companies who are accepted and receive a request to attend, and the event sells out.

Members can attend the annual event to see pitches from top environmental companies and will receive a quarterly newsletter about environmental impact investing announcements from other members and presenting companies, invites to regional investor salons, and sneak previews at upcoming deals. Member logos are recognized on the EnVest website.

The decade from 2020-2030 may be one of the most important in human history, as we need to transform our entire economy to help save our planet. Environmental entrepreneurs are needed more than ever, and EnVest brings them an incredible opportunity to pitch in front of an exclusive network to grow their innovations and companies. At the same time, environmental impact investors are constantly seeking good quality deal flow that has been vetted. EnVest is an efficient, action-oriented event that fosters these relationships to deploy the resources needed to protect the environment. Environmental impact investing is still a nascent field which needs community building, collaboration, and attracting more investors into the fold, so EnVest also hopes to continue to grow this field and empower this ecosystem of doers.

We define the success of EnVest in three ways:

1. The amount of money invested into environmental opportunities as a direct result of EnVest;
2. The number of investment opportunities that receive investment as a direct result of EnVest; and
3. The number of member investors that return to EnVest in subsequent years.

The core of EnVest is a one-day investment conference. This conference will provide curated investment opportunities for investor members, broken down by asset class and subject. Companies pitch their ideas before programmed time for networking and any discussions on deals. The focus is on private asset classes including seed, venture, growth capital and private equity. On either side of the one-day conference there are social events aimed at giving investors and management teams the chance to share ideas and ambitions around environmental investing.
