Ecosystem Investment Partners

Ecosystem Investment Partners (EIP) was founded in 2006 with the vision of aligning economic development with environmental restoration. The firm challenges the misconception that environmental protection and economic development must be in conflict. Instead, EIP focuses on large-scale restoration of land and water resources by using verifiable science, strategic design, and specialized construction techniques. EIP specializes in solving complex environmental restoration and conservation challenges through a variety of methods, including mitigation banks, Pay for Performance solutions, and custom restoration options tailored to project needs. Their work aims not just to meet regulatory requirements but also to enhance the resilience of natural systems against climate change. Major milestones include the establishment of the firm in 2006, raising their first institutional fund in 2012, and subsequent fundraising rounds that resulted in multi-million dollar funds for ecological projects. EIP collaborates with local engineers and construction firms to ensure each project is effectively tailored to its ecological, regulatory, and community context.
