We are so pleased to announce TMV's newest investment, The Canoa Supply Co. PBC, the first scaling platform for sustainable design and construction of commercial real estate. Founded in 2019 by Federico Negro, former Global Head of Design at WeWork, CANOA aims to transform the field of design and construction by providing access to healthy and human-centered design at commercial scale, while reducing the industry's carbon footprint. At TMV we were particularly drawn to CANOA'...s approach to integrating sustainable thinking into the efficient reuse and renovation of space. The technology that CANOA is developing makes it possible for large-scale developers to rethink their environments with easy-to-use automation tools, customizable designs and expert support centered on sustainability. It's good for business and good for the planet.

Our firm, TMV, is proud to partner with Bank of America as we continue to invest in purpose-driven companies with diverse leadership. From the press release that went out yesterday: Bank of America announced it will invest approximately $150 million in 40 funds, based in 21 markets across the U.S. These investments will underscore Bank of America’s ongoing efforts to address the persistent gap in access to growth capital for minority-led businesses.... By accelerating the flow of capital into funds focused on investing in Black, Hispanic-Latino, other under-represented minority and women-led businesses, we can help level the playing field, said Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America. These funds support diverse entrepreneurs across the U.S. and will drive innovation and economic opportunities, creating more jobs and wealth in communities. In addition to their focus on investing in minority-led businesses, these funds are predominately led by diverse fund managers. https://lnkd.in/d9D7c5j

Today we are announcing a rebrand of our firm the first major change since our inception in 2016. This includes shortening our name from Trail Mix Ventures to TMV. and unveiling a new website that showcases our work and the purpose-driven community we’ve cultivated over the last four years. At this stage of our growth, our business and portfolio have expanded dramatically, and our position as a firm rooted in diversity has been cemented, which is why we felt a need for a ne...w name and revived aesthetic that would better reflect our vision and core values. As a female-led fund with a portfolio that’s 65% women- and/or minority-founded, we continue to be committed to investing in people that reflect what America actually looks like. From the beginning, our objective has remained the same: to invest in forward-looking brands with enduring missions. To date, we have followed through on this objective, investing in 27 portfolio companies positively changing the course of our future.
