for entrepreneurs

wide circle is currently developing a private equity fund to invest in companies that support and further a vegan lifestyle.  The Fund is seeking expressions of interest from companies that are seeking financing to develop or encourage alternatives to animal-based products, processes or services.

Target companies might include the following:

• Wholesale and consumer food products
• Personal care and cosmetic products
• Restaurants, particularly small chain
• Travel and lodging
• Leisure services, e.g. spa, yoga and massage
• Clothing, shoes and accessories
• Publishing and Media
• Dietary supplements
• Companion animal products
• Cleaning and household products
• Home furnishings
• Biotechnology, including alternatives to animals for research and drug and product testing
• Humane, non-lethal wildlife control

To be eligible for funding companies may not produce, use or sell animal products or by-products, and may not engage in animal testing, or manufacture or sell animal-tested ingredients or products.

While the Fund will consider start-up companies, companies with a track record and revenues of at least $1 million are the target companies.
