Investment thesis

New Earth Ventures backs transformative solutions across packaging and the supply chain, targeting three focus areas: packaging intelligence, supply chain optimization, and next-generation materials. Positioned as a 'better' venture capital firm oriented toward founders, partners, and the planet, NEV invests in, incubates, and supports companies leveraging the backing of Atlantic Packaging. Portfolio companies gain access to Atlantic Packaging's resources, legacy customer pipeline, and 80 years of industry experience, which the firm says enables its companies to innovate faster and scale sooner. NEV aims to create value by accelerating technology from early development through to widespread adoption.
