Why EnVest?

Previous assumptions regarding the relationship between human economies and the natural world are proving inaccurate. It's evident that human activities have caused significant shifts in the Earth's systems, resulting in damage to both living components like plants, animals, microorganisms, and fungi, as well as non-living components including soil, water, air, and geological features. These changes are jeopardizing the natural world and the ability for future generations to safely and comfortably inhabit the planet.

In light of this transformative shift and the pressing need for solutions, the EnVest community is coming together, sharing deals, information and networks to get to conviction faster on investments that will accelerate the transition towards a reimagined future economy that fosters flourishing for people and the planet.

Our Community

Made up of over 45 members from venture funds, family offices, corporate investors, individuals and venture philanthropists, EnVest derisks and expedites investments.

We collaborate to develop and exchange knowledge and resources, explore innovative market concepts, facilitate syndicates and uncover new opportunities.

Our diverse network of investors have deep experience in sectors within sustainability, focusing on early-stage innovations that are transforming global challenges like pollution, deforestation, circular economy, and biodiversity loss.

Our Mission

Our mission is to accelerate capital into innovations that mitigate, transition, and replace current practices, creating better, faster and cheaper solutions.

We Start From a Set of Fundamental Beliefs

• To thrive, humans need a healthy and resilient natural world.

• A market-driven systems approach is the best way to achieve the breakthrough innovations and long-term sustainable outcomes we seek.

• It is our duty to intervene for species and ecosystems that can’t defend themselves against human impact.

• By taking a sector based approach we can accelerate innovation and unlock scale.
