Arborview Capital Growth Equity Grant

About this grant

Arborview Capital is a growth equity investment firm focused on sustainability-driven businesses across energy, water, materials, and food and agriculture sectors. For over fifteen years, the firm has partnered with high-quality management teams building environmentally sound and resource-efficient companies, with the conviction that sustainability represents a compelling and rapidly expanding investment opportunity. The firm targets established, high-growth companies that are capital efficient and have a clear path to positive EBITDA, typically with $5M or more in revenue. Arborview seeks to invest $5–15M per opportunity and is comfortable investing at any stage from Series A onward, including majority investments. The firm crafts intentionally concentrated portfolios, taking board-level involvement and working directly with management teams on strategic priorities from inception to exit. As a B Corp certified firm, Arborview holds itself to the same standards it expects from its portfolio companies and does not define a fixed time frame for its investments, acting in the best long-term interest of each business and its environmental impact.

Eligibility

Eligible companies must be established, high-growth businesses with $5M or more in annual revenue that are capital efficient and have a clear path to positive EBITDA. Companies must operate in sustainability-related sectors, including energy (CO2 reduction, cleaner alternatives), water (optimization and quality), materials (sustainable sourcing, reducing landfill use), and food and agriculture (better food and smarter growing). The firm is open to companies at any stage from Series A to majority investment situations. Management teams must share Arborview's values around sustainability and stewardship of natural resources. There is no explicit geographic restriction stated, though the firm is US-based.
