Ecosystem Integrity Fund (EIF) is a venture capital firm based in San Francisco, California, with a clear focus on investing in companies that contribute to environmental sustainability. They specialize in early growth-stage investments, channeling private capital to accelerate the transition towards more sustainable practices which they believe will result in healthier communities and robust economic growth. With an assertive investment thesis that targets sustainability, efficiency, and resiliency within critical industry sectors, EIF backs innovation in grid technology, mobility, supply chain, logistics, agricultural technology (agtech), alternative proteins, and green chemistry. Emphasizing the integration of economic and environmental sustainability, EIF postulates that this convergence is a pivotal, enduring shift driven by compelling economic factors. They view this paradigm as a continuation of the Industrial Revolution, dramatically reshaping the economy over the forthcoming decades. The fund's mission hinges on demonstrating that positive environmental impact can go hand in hand with exceptional financial returns. EIF operates with a strong conviction that sustainability equates to improvements across the board—making systems more efficient, functional, less harmful, and ultimately more cost-effective. The firm's portfolio includes a preference for renewable energy sources over hydrocarbon-based energy, electric vehicles over gasoline-powered alternatives, distributed energy resources over centralized systems, and sustainable, smart agriculture practices over environmentally detrimental methods. EIF's financial capabilities include equity investments ranging from $3 million to $10 million, with a preference for a $5 million 'sweet spot.' They manage assets totalling around $100 million. Their expertise extends across various investment stages, including Seed, Startup, Early Stage, and Series A.
