City Light Capital
City Light Capital is a venture capital firm that invests in early stage companies which provide not only strong financial returns, but also positive contributions to the company's world. This approach, sometimes called "double bottom line" investing, holds that for some investors, maximizing shareholder value should be about more than pure financial return. It should also be about benefits to human society and to the company's natural environment. They do not believe that investors have to make a tradeoff between maximizing shareholder value and "doing good. They accomplish this by investing in Safety and Security, Education and Media and Energy and Environment.
Kingdom Capital
Kingdom Capital is an undisclosed investor that participated in the funding round.
