Craton Equity Partners

About The Fund

Craton Equity Partners is an investment fund based in Los Angeles that initiated operations in the mid-1990s, primarily geared towards providing growth capital to small companies within the basic industry and manufacturing sectors. Over the years, Craton has evolved to particularly emphasize investments in clean technology, focusing on environmentally responsible activities such as energy generation and water treatment. The firm seeks companies with a total enterprise value of less than $50 million, and those which are often undercapitalized but exhibit a proven track record in business development in traditional technology application areas. These target companies are engaged in activities like water remediation, waste conversion, and the production of 'green' building materials. Craton Equity Partners positions themselves as advocates of sustainability and environmental stewardship, selecting investments that align with this vision. The fund has a broad investment range, with a minimum of $400,000 and a maximum of $125 million, catering to a diverse array of investment opportunities within their focus areas. It is also worth noting that Craton Equity Partners is interested in the wider clean technology space, which may encompass innovative ventures in software, including web marketplaces and SaaS (Software as a Service), as well as in the retail and e-commerce sectors.
