Investors’ Circle<\/a> is pleased to announce the selection of 23 companies set to present at the upcoming Spring Conference & Venture Fair, May 5-7 at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco, CA. <\/p>\n

Investors’ Circle hosts two venture fairs a year where companies that address a social or environmental issue present to over 150 investors who are looking for socially responsible investments. Over the past 15 years, Investors’ Circle members have invested over $120 million in 190 deals. <\/p>\n

The Investors’ Circle network has previously invested in ZipCar, Seahorse Power Company, Niman Ranch, Equal Exchange, Virgin Money USA, Indigenous Designs, TerraCycle and many others. Over 300 companies applied to present at this year’s Spring Conference & Venture Fair, which was the largest field ever for Investors’ Circle. Our selection committee has narrowed the field to just 23 presenters, representing the best of scalable, high-impact solutions in areas such as food & organics, health & wellness, and energy & environment. Presenting ventures include:<\/p>\n

  • A personal care company with a sustainable & organic focus<\/li>\n
  • A botanical-based over-the-counter drug company <\/li>\n
  • A company that’s making clean power universally accessible and affordable <\/li>\n
  • A company that refines grain into biodegradable chemicals <\/li>\n
  • Supply chain mapping and assessment tools company<\/li>\n
  • A vertically integrated hemp seed food processor<\/li>\n
  • Creators of socially responsible film and TV\n

    TerraCycle’s CEO, Tom Szaky said, "I owe endless gratitude to Investor’s Circle. Without their programs and investors my young company may not have survived. They are probably the only investor group that focuses entirely on environmental and socially beneficial companies. They realize that there is much more to a company than a bottom line and a profit margin."<\/li>\n
