Summary

The Closed Loop Ventures Group is the venture capital arm of Closed Loop Partners, a firm dedicated to building the circular economy. The group partners with early-stage companies — Pre-Seed to Seed stage — that are commercializing cutting-edge circular solutions for foundational materials underpinning vital economic sectors: organics, minerals, polymers (including plastics), and water. The fund focuses on companies that reduce waste and increase the use of recycled materials across supply chains. Priority sectors include plastics and packaging, textiles and apparel, food and organics, and circular technology. The fund explicitly targets founders who are as motivated by impact as by profit, who demonstrate the capacity and commitment to build a scaling business, and who have validated initial product-market fit through an MVP with positive or near-positive contribution margins. Investments range from $500K to $1M as initial Pre-Seed and Seed checks, with the fund explicitly willing to continue supporting companies with follow-on capital, connections to industry partners, and support from the broader Closed Loop Partners network of consumer goods companies, retailers, municipalities, and financial institutions. Financing structures are flexible, including traditional equity, convertible notes, SAFEs, and similar instruments. The application process is open and rolling, with a two-week response target. Applicants must submit company information, circular economy contribution narrative, and a pitch deck via the online form. No geographic restrictions are stated, though the fund is U.S.-headquartered. The Closed Loop Ventures Group is not accessible to NGOs or non-profits — it is strictly a for-profit venture investment fund targeting startups, not grant-funded organizations.
