The Biggest, Badest, Greenest Private Equity, Green Venture Capital List in the World
by Chris Williams on December 4, 2009
in Resources
Since I starting the blog a month ago, I’ve received a couple requests for information on green private equity companies, green VC, and green angel investors from friends, and colleagues that I went to Babson with.
This list will be valuable for entrepreneurs looking for funding, or those who are interested in ‘green’ investing, financing or consulting.
First, you should know that the word green private equity may or may not hold any water. It will depend on the firm and how they define the word ‘green’. I have done very little vetting of the list.
The list is not separated between private equity and venture capital. You’ll have to do this research on your own. If you find mistake, broken link, a company that a missed, or a company that clearly should be on this list let me know.
Enjoy! The list currently stands at 250 companies.
