Profile

Fifth Season Ventures is no longer active.

Plastic pollution is a challenging area for impact investors, because the investments are difficult to source, value and understand.

Fifth Season Ventures is building a comprehensive venture portfolio of solutions by investing in new technologies that create a circular economy supply chain. This approach unlocks an investment theme for investors concerned with plastic pollution and can produce substantive results with a speed and scale unachievable through philanthropy or other asset classes. We are a small team of seasoned startup executives and investors who understand the problem, the solution, and are focused on identifying successful entrepreneurs.

Fifth Season Ventures is a proud signatory of The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment to eliminate plastic pollution at the source & a member of the Plastic Pollution Coalition.
