About Equilibrium Capital

Equilibrium Capital Group, LLC is focused on funding and building the leading companies for a sustainable future. They work with growth stage companies in the areas of green building, resource management (energy, water, and waste management), and the food shed. In each of these sectors, global sustainability trends are disrupting the industry cost structures, the value chain and the product needs. These conditions create the opportunity for new market leaders to emerge with innovative practices and products. At Equilibrium Capital Group, their goal is to become the leading investment firm at the intersection of conscience and commerce.

The values advanced by B Lab and B Corporations are ones that are important to us and also to our stakeholders. By becoming a B Corporation, we are better able to broadcast our commitment to those values and hopefully set an example of social and environmental responsibility in our community.

That means earning the access to the best companies in our target sectors; which means earning the trust and respect of these entrepreneurs. It means they need to understand and hear the language embedded in their company values and ethos. It means working with these entrepreneurs to balance the goals of sustainability, growth, and financial returns. They are leaders in our own sector. Sustainability is a market in the process of formation. As such, they are active participants and leaders in building the needed financial services industry infrastructure needed to fully support these companies. They are part of a global network of leading financial institutions, NGOs, and foundations working together to develop sustainable finance building blocks: innovative corporate structures, financial and impact models/ metrics, & funding networks. This is their commitment to innovation. This is their dedication to service.

The Change We Seek®

Equilibrium Capital seeks to partner with market leaders that have three common attributes:

• Brands with authenticity. Marketing, PR and money cannot buy you authenticity. These entrepreneurs have built business models that execute their core beliefs about sustainability throughout their product and business processes. The result is customer loyalty and growth. Yet most of these brands have not been fully leveraged, which provides future avenues for growth and value.

• Teams/entrepreneurs with passion. The individuals we work with did not just start businesses yesterday after reading about sustainability in the Economist or the Wall Street Journal. They are business pioneers that were ahead of the curve, have built lasting enterprises, and now want to steer their companies through markets that are at tipping point.

• Operating in large high growth markets. Green building, resource management and food systems are each multi-hundred billion dollar industries representing significant portions of our national and global economy.
