Spin Ventures

Spin Ventures has launched Loop 2, an Article 9 "Dark Green" fund focused on climate-tech investments from pre-seed to Series A stages. This specialized fund targets innovative B2B solutions driving decarbonization and circularity within the massive $30 trillion global consumer and retail industry. Building upon Spin Ventures' established track record and leveraging their House of Circularity platform, Loop 2 offers portfolio companies unique advantages including early access to groundbreaking technologies, corporate pilot validation opportunities, and strategic partnerships designed to create scalable environmental impact while generating strong financial returns.

The investment strategy of Loop 2 encompasses four key focus areas addressing critical sustainability challenges. In Material Science, the fund backs bio-based innovations like Sparxell, BioFluff, and NFW that replace petroleum-derived inputs and significantly reduce carbon emissions. Their Recycling Technologies portfolio includes companies like ReFresh Global, which transforms post-consumer waste into valuable resources. The fund also invests in SaaS Platforms such as Illuminem that provide environmental data solutions for regulatory compliance and resource efficiency. Additionally, Loop 2 supports ReCommerce businesses like The Seam that extend product lifecycles through repair, resale, and rental models.

What distinguishes Loop 2 is the House of Circularity Advantage, a comprehensive ecosystem that delivers three critical benefits to portfolio companies. First, unmatched deal flow provides access to high-growth startups innovating in circularity. Second, pilot validation enables Fortune 500 corporations to test and scale startups' solutions, accelerating market adoption. Third, risk mitigation leverages data from these pilots to de-risk early-stage investments. This integrated approach ensures Loop 2's investments deliver measurable outcomes including lower emissions, extended product lifecycles, and optimized resource utilization across the consumer goods value chain.

The fund's market growth and liquidity strategy capitalizes on rapidly expanding sustainability sectors with compelling growth trajectories. Bio-based materials are projected to reach a $125 billion market by 2030 (15.3% CAGR), recycling technologies $27 billion by 2027 (5% CAGR), and ReCommerce $289 billion by 2027 (16% CAGR). Loop 2's liquidity pathways include follow-on investments through their planned Loop 3 growth fund, strategic exits via corporate M&A, and partnerships with private equity firms. By leveraging increasing regulatory pressures, growing corporate demand for sustainable solutions, and expanding market opportunities, Loop 2 is strategically positioned to lead the consumer sector's decarbonization efforts while delivering attractive returns to investors.
