Leaf Clean Energy is a renewable energy and sustainable technology investment firm that specializes in venture and growth capital within the renewable energy industry, dedicated to supporting innovative, well-managed, and rapidly-growing companies. With a commitment to fostering environmental and economic sustainability, Leaf Clean Energy focuses its investments primarily on projects and companies based in North America. Their portfolio encompasses technologies and assets that contribute to generating energy from renewable resources, resource energy needs sustainably, and operate within markets that are both environmentally and economically viable. The fund's investment specialty lies in Series B financing, aiming to support companies that have reached a growth stage, showcase positive revenues, and have demonstrated a clear path towards profitability. They engage with these prospective companies through an initial investment ranging between $5 million and $10 million, with potential follow-on investments reaching $10 million to $20 million over the investment's lifecycle. As backers encompass some of the world's leading institutional investors, Leaf is well-positioned to either lead funding rounds for more modest investments or to participate as a co-investor in substantially larger financing endeavors. Their financial commitments are influenced by the prospects of the renewable energy sector and the anticipated profitability of the businesses they choose to invest in, targeting companies on the cusp of progress from Series B through to the pre-IPO stages.
