    October 16th, 2008 No comments

    DURHAM, N.C. & SEATTLE. SJF Ventures II, LP closed today on a $1,600,000 investment as part of a $10,000,000 Series A preferred financing for CleanScapes, Inc. CleanScapes is a recycling, organics, and waste collection company with operations in Seattle and Shoreline, WA, Portland, OR and San Francisco, CA. The ten-year-old company initially provided innovative ‘Dumpster Free Alley’ streetscape services and has since expanded to provide municipal collection services. CleanScapes recently won contracts totaling $40MM annually in Shoreline and Seattle, WA.

    Chris Martin, CEO of CleanScapes added “We are excited to have SJF Ventures join the CleanScapes team. SJF’s focus on companies whose positive impacts drive business results is perfectly aligned with our company, and the SJF team’s in-depth understanding of the recycling and waste management industries is a great addition to our investor syndicate.”

    “SJF seeks out forward-looking ventures that bring cleantech innovations to inefficient, mainstream industries and CleanScapes fits the bill,” said Cody Apperson, SJF Ventures Associate. “The company’s strong environmental, civic, and workforce strategies helped it win new major contracts and bring a breath of fresh air to the waste management industry.”
