The VCi Green Fund is a private venture fund, founded by Tom Rand in 2005. The fund provides seed and venture capital to companies developing technologies that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from energy use, particularly CO2. Efficiencies and alternate sources are each considered target areas of application. Our first round investments are in building retrofits, geothermal heating and cooling , and wind generation. Second round efforts include gas plasma from waste and concentrated solar PV.
