Closed Loop Partners' Ventures Group

Closed Loop Partners' Ventures Group is a New York-based venture capital firm that invests early-stage capital into companies developing breakthrough solutions for the circular economy. The firm focuses on commercializing innovative circular solutions for foundational materials such as organics, minerals, polymers, and water, aiming to advance the transition to a circular economy by reducing waste and increasing the use of recycled materials across various supply chains. Since its inception in 2016, Closed Loop Ventures Group has partnered with founders and companies that rethink product design, manufacturing, consumption, and recovery, with a shared vision of reimagining supply chains and eliminating waste. The firm seeks investments in companies that have produced minimum viable products (MVPs), validated initial product-market fit, and are looking to grow, with positive contribution margins. Investment sizes typically range from $500,000 to $1 million, with flexibility in financing models, including traditional equity, convertible notes, and SAFEs. The firm's portfolio includes companies developing leading innovations in material science, robotics, agri-tech, sustainable consumer products, and advanced technologies that further the circular economy. Notable investments include Earthodic, a biotechnology company creating recyclable bio-based coatings for paper packaging, and LAIIER, a Denver-based startup pioneering smart, scalable sensors to reduce waste in the foodservice industry. Through these investments, Closed Loop Ventures Group aims to drive systemic change and promote a more sustainable and circular economic system.
