Investing in early-stage Canadian companies that develop naturally-derived solutions that benefit people, animals and the planet.
There is growing global demand for natural alternatives to synthetic products. From what we eat to the cars we drive, virtually every industry is seeking cleaner and greener products.
We capitalize on this monumental growth opportunity by investing in Canadian early-stage companies that are developing biologically-based solutions –everything from natural health products to plastic made from compost.
We leverage the strong foundation that Natural Products Canada (NPC) has developed to identify, develop and invest in Canadian innovation, and add a highly engaged and disciplined approach to all aspects of the fund – from origination to exit – to facilitate growth for investees and returns for investors.
We have a non-binding term sheet with a significant anchor investor. We are actively seeking LPs to help us complete this $50M fund. Please contact us for more information.
