INVESTMENT THEMES
Clear Current Capital History
When Clear Current launched in 2017, the sector focused on innovative food, which had just started gaining traction as an investment opportunity. Recognizing the untapped potential, Curt Albright, a seasoned financial expert, disrupted the status quo by creating Clear Current Capital Fund I, allowing, for the first time, outside investors the opportunity to gain access to this new sector. This traditional venture capital fund structure attracted a wave of committed investors eager to make a difference for animals, people, and the planet.
Since then, Clear Current Capital has been laser-focused on positively impacting the food system by backing bold, visionary entrepreneurs who challenge the norms and fill critical gaps in the food system.
Companies backed by CCC in the past may differ from those in the future, reflecting the dynamic nature of the sustainable food system. However, one thing remains constant: CCC's unwavering commitment to driving this transformative shift.
The firm's limited partners consist of individuals and institutions that recognize the importance of food in our ability to sustain a growing population without negatively impacting nature's resources and all those who rely on them. This shared desire to positively impact the food system drives CCC daily. It allows the team to be intentional about how they operate and actively provide support to their portfolio of companies.
CCC firmly believes that it's not just a responsibility but a privilege to contribute to future food solutions alongside a community of like-minded drivers of impact. This shared urgency and privilege inspire CCC to push boundaries and create lasting change in the food system.
