The Builders Fund

The Builders Fund is a private equity firm that partners with growth-stage companies whose business models directly address environmental and social challenges, aiming to harness purpose for competitive advantage. They focus on building authentic partnerships with companies that create positive impact through their core business model. The firm prioritizes long-term value creation through growth and earnings improvement, emphasizing 'systems-responsible' companies that aim to build a more sustainable and equitable future.

The Builders Fund invests in two thematic areas: Sustainable Systems, focusing on decarbonizing the economy, addressing resource efficiency, and fixing the broken food system; and Human Elevation, focusing on addressing equity and social justice, as well as wellness and health. Their portfolio includes companies like PosiGen, a residential solar provider focused on lower-income communities, and Traditional Medicinals, a leading herbal and wellness company committed to sustainable production practices.

With a rigorous approach to scaling impact, The Builders Fund aims to advance a more sustainable and systemically responsible form of stakeholder capitalism. They target the 'Missing Middle,' a gap in the impact capital markets between venture and buyout stages, focusing on small-cap buyout and growth equity investing. This approach addresses the underserved segment of companies with revenues between $20 million and $100 million, aiming to generate exceptional returns while advancing a positive impact on people and the planet.
