The Circular Innovation Fund (CIF) is a global venture capital fund dedicated exclusively to circular innovation, aiming to positively contribute to climate change mitigation and the sustainable use of resources. Jointly managed by Cycle Capital and Demeter, CIF invests in growth-stage companies across North America, Europe, and Asia that develop breakthrough technologies and business models within the circular economy. These include new materials, circular packaging, recycling and waste innovations, logistics and distribution, clean technologies, eco-efficient processes, and circular business models.
CIF's investment strategy focuses on companies that have the potential to solve complex supply chain problems and minimize environmental impact. The fund typically invests between €3 million and €30 million, supporting companies at various stages of development, from innovative startups to high-growth SMEs and infrastructure projects. Notable investments include SPRiNG, a French detergent startup advocating clean formulas free of controversial ingredients, and Lizee, a company specializing in reusable packaging solutions.
The fund's team comprises experienced professionals from both Cycle Capital and Demeter, bringing together expertise in cleantech-focused capital management. The addition of Export Development Canada (EDC) as a Limited Partner in November 2023 further strengthens CIF's commitment to scaling circular, sustainable, and profitable growth-stage companies. This partnership reflects CIF's dedication to fostering a more sustainable future through innovative investments in the circular economy.
