EcoEnterprises Fund, a pioneer in impact investing for 25 years, has raised nearly $100 million for its fourth fund — a milestone that underscores the rising demand for climate and biodiversity-focused investments in Latin America.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), International Finance Corp (IFC), and Swiss Investment Fund for Emerging Markets (SIFEM) round out the first close of the $150 million EcoEnterprises Partners IV, LP.
With 50 investments across three prior portfolios, EcoEnterprises Fund has built a reputation as an early mover in financing nature-based solutions — from regenerative agriculture and sustainable forestry to the blue economy, circularity, and climate tech. The new fund will target up to 20 small and medium-sized companies across Latin America that promise both financial returns and measurable impact in biodiversity conservation, climate action, and community resilience.
“We have worked to scale innovative businesses in the Amazonian, Andean, and Meso-American regions for over two decades,” said Tammy Newmark, CEO and Managing Partner. “Our investors recognize that the future depends on backing the next generation businesses that can build a more resilient and inclusive planet.”
By pairing growth capital with hands-on value creation, EcoEnterprises Fund aims to strengthen long-term results in portfolio companies while meeting the surging global demand for climate solutions.
