Led by Michael Gurau, Clear expects to raise (by 2012) a $50-75M fund that will focus on sectors that include products and services in the following sectors: healthy living (including natural and organic foods), clean/green technologies, and web and mobile.

CFNE is a bridge between socially responsible investors and cooperatives, community oriented non-profits, and worker-owned businesses in New England (and parts of New York). |
