LACI Impact Fund

Advancing the impact of LACI startups through a follow-on investment vehicle.

The LACI Impact Fund is a follow-on venture fund created to support startups in LACI programs.

The fund was created to be a founder friendly fund that aligns with LACI’s mission and prioritizes Environmental, Social, and Economic impact alongside returns.

LACI Impact Fund has made two investments.

The most recent investment, LACI Impact Fund II, invested in two women founded start-ups: Repurpose, whose mission is to eliminate plastic pollution with its sustainable tableware; and ChargerHelp!, the nation’s only on-demand repair service for electric vehicle charging stations.

The first investment, LACI Impact Fund I, invested in 17 cleantech startups. Of the 17 investments, 29% percent of startups are led by a woman founder, and 12% by a Black or Brown founder.
