We focus first on people.
We look for entrepreneurs who have assembled teams with
extensive management and industry expertise and company
cultures that promote innovation.
Because we understand products and technologies are not businesses, we look for business models built on thorough, ongoing customer development. Finally, we look for other attributes that characterize clean economy companies including an innovative business model that serves a large, existing market segment, lower capital intensity, lower commercialization risk, and a prudent exit strategy.
At Clearpoint Ventures we have assembled a network of innovative entrepreneurs, limited partners, co-investors, employees, and industry leaders to actively collaborate in building high growth, clean economy companies. We consider ourselves entrepreneurs and invest our own capital alongside our LPs', we believe in creating both sustainable companies and lasting relationships, and we define our success in terms of strong financial performance and positive environmental impact.
Clearpoint stood out as a serious investor who did their homework, asked the most penetrating questions, and showed an engagement I had not seen in
most venture firms, large or small.
