InvestEco Capital is a Toronto-based venture capital firm and impact investor founded in 2002, focused exclusively on the sustainable food sector. The firm is one of the few funds globally that specializes in high-growth, health-focused, and sustainability-driven food companies across consumer packaged goods, AgTech, and food system infrastructure. Fund IV is InvestEco's largest raise to date and continues a 24-year track record of investing in companies that combine commercial growth with measurable health and sustainability impact.
InvestEco backs high-growth food companies across consumer packaged goods with unique supply chains or manufacturing innovation, AgTech, and companies with proprietary food technology or intellectual property.
The firm targets businesses that promote health and sustainability across the food sector, with a particular emphasis on Canadian and North American food system companies with global scale potential.
InvestEco Sustainable Food Fund IV reached final close at $77M (C$106M) in June 2026, the firm's largest fund to date.
LPs include Farm Credit Canada, Export Development Canada, Business Development Bank of Canada, Fonds de solidarité FTQ, Boann Social Impact, and Realize Capital Partners (the latter two supported by Canada's federal Social Finance Fund), alongside private investors and family offices.
The fund writes initial checks of $3–4M and expects to make a further 6–10 investments beyond its four completed to date.
