Dry Creek Ventures
Dry Creek Ventures, established in 2007, is an investment firm focused on funding and mentoring early-stage companies in the clean energy, clean food, and clean water sectors. The firm targets innovative entrepreneurs who have typically exhausted initial funding sources from friends and family but lack the necessary infrastructure and financial performance to attract larger venture capital investments. Dry Creek Ventures not only provides equity capital but also offers extensive operational and financial expertise, emphasizing a collaborative partnership approach rather than a transactional relationship. The firm is committed to helping entrepreneurs develop their businesses through significant time and effort, recognizing that teams can achieve success where individuals may struggle. By leveraging its extensive network and decades of business experience, Dry Creek Ventures aims to foster growth in the companies it supports.
