TBL Capital

About TBL Capital

TBL Capital has developed an intentional, patient capital venture fund focused on the needs of the entrepreneur while aligning their investments with triple-bottom-line companies.

TBL agrees that consumers (broadly defined) want to vote with their wallet and need help wading through the clutter and confusion of what is and what is not a "green" company or organization. B Corporations allow consumers to cut through the clutter and make informed decisions.

We provide growth capital to help companies succeed and support entrepreneurs as they manage the many opportunities and demands of a growing business. TBL has targeted a range of socially beneficial sectors in which to invest: consumer products, service providers, software, clean technology, green building, health and wellness, and retail.

The Change We Seek®

TBL Capital seeks to provide social entrepreneurs access to aligned capital throughout a company's lifecycle by developing a horizontally integrated social finance platform with a balanced emphasis on people, planet and profits.

We direct our venture fund toward companies who are fully committed to social responsibility. Some companies in our portfolio are our fellow B Corporations, whose commitment to social responsibility is self-evident through the mission of B Corporations.
