CYCLEffect Regenerative Ventures

CYCLEffect Regenerative Ventures describes itself as a hybrid venture capital cooperative firm, based in Boulder, Colorado, and New York City, investing in what it calls the circular and regenerative economy. It defines this as an economic system that preserves natural capital by optimising the capture, reuse and recycling of resources and by restoring biological and social systems. As a multi-stakeholder cooperative, the firm says it pools resources from its members to support both members and the companies it invests in, offering strategic planning, market development, communications and scaling support, hosting shared-learning events, and building peer-to-peer relationships across its network. It also raises, manages and deploys investment capital on behalf of the cooperative.
