The Builders Fund is raising its third flagship fund to invest in profitable, purpose-driven companies tackling systemic environmental and social challenges. The firm focuses on the “missing middle” of the capital markets – high-growth businesses that are too mature for venture capital but not a fit for traditional buyout.
Builders writes $5 to $30 million checks to companies with $20 to $200 million in revenue and positive cash flow. The fund’s investment strategy targets influential minority or control stakes in businesses aligned with two themes: Sustainable systems and human elevation.
The firm’s investor base includes more than 40 limited partners with deep operating experience –founders, CEOs and impact practitioners who actively support the portfolio.
The fund tracks impact using customized key performance indicators developed with each company. Across its first two funds, Builders reports results spanning clean energy generation, job creation, community health and sustainable supply chains.
With its third vehicle, Builders aims to continue backing mission-aligned businesses that are scaling into more efficient segments of the capital markets.
