EnVest community members are leading environmental VC funds, family offices, individuals and venture philanthropists representing over $10 billion in investable early stage capital.  Each is required to be actively deploying capital in Founder-Series B rounds within the environmental investment space.

Our community-designed programming allows our members to accelerate capital deployment into quality environmental investment opportunities.  This is achieved year round through the active exchange of road maps, news, resources, as well as opportunities for deal discovery review and syndication.  Our members also meet each November in the Bay Area to reconnect, strategize, and engage with 24-36 company CEOs selected curated from member portfolio’s, representing startups the community thinks will be game changing investments in the upcoming year.

Our approach prioritizes quality over quantity.  Our commitment to member and deal quality sets EnVest apart, and has enabled us to build a strong, unique, energetic and highly collaborative community.

By focusing on curation and community, and employing a sector-based approach, we strive to reduce the friction required to deploy smart, integrated risk capital.  We support this effort through our programming, all designed to connect our members to each other, and to the early stage opportunities that will be the leaders of a reimagined future economy.
