GreenSoil Building Innovation Fund

Impact Investing to Digitize and Decarbonize the Built Environment
  • GreenSoil Investments
Overview of the GreenSoil Building Innovation Fund program:

Greensoil Investments is a venture capital and private equity firm that provides funding and strategic support to companies driving sustainable innovation in agriculture, food, and the built environment. With offices in Toronto and Tel Aviv, Greensoil invests in businesses that aim to improve productivity, reduce waste, and optimize the use of natural resources, aligning profitability with environmental impact. The firm manages two main funds: Greensoil Building Innovation Fund (GBIF): Focuses on real estate and property technology (proptech) startups that enhance energy efficiency, sustainability, and digital transformation in buildings. GBIF invests in solutions such as smart sensors, building automation, energy optimization, and materials innovation. Greensoil Agri & Food Technologies Fund (GAFT): Targets startups across the agri-food value chain—from farm inputs and crop management to food production, supply chain, and sustainability. It seeks companies leveraging AI, biotechnology, IoT, and sustainable packaging to solve problems in food security, soil health, and emissions reduction. Greensoil Investments typically makes equity investments and actively supports portfolio companies with business development, governance, strategic partnerships, and global expansion. The firm looks for scalable, IP-rich technologies that deliver measurable environmental and financial returns. It is not a grant or public funding program, but rather a private investor initiative seeking strong, visionary entrepreneurs building high-impact ventures. Companies must have a proven product or prototype, a growing customer base, and a clear path to market or scale.
