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 a green hotel , geothermal heating and cooling , and wind micro-generation. Second round efforts include gas plasma from waste, concentrated solar PV and early-stage wind development under Ontario's FIT program.
