Edit this fund

This was the first socially-responsible venture capital fund that CVI launched, following the company’s launch in 1994. The fund’s objective was to provide a financial and social return on investment by investing in small, private businesses with excellent growth potential. The fund predominantly focused on enterprises in the New England region of the United States.



Financial description

The principal focus of investment activity will be small, closely-held companies. The Fund will invest $50,000 to $5000,000 in equity and/or debt secrurities in companies at various stages of development, from the seed stage to leveraged buyouts of mature companies. Target companies must have substantial growth prospects, provide the potential for financial returns to investors, and provide a social return on investment.

Impact thesis

We identify entrepreneurs committed to good corporate citizenship and environmental stewardship, and each new portfolio company agrees to advance our broad ranging social goals by entering into a Social Agreement (prepared by CVI), targeting jobs for people with low incomes. We bring our knowledge of socially responsible management practices, working together with CEI (www.ceimaine.org) - a community development financial institution based in Maine - to introduce workforce development specialists along with environmental, technical assistance and consulting relationships. CVLP portfolio companies employed 3,596 employees, 2013 of which were retained through year end 2011. Employment in portfolio companies increased by over 133% after CVI investment.
