Miami-based Lebec connects investors and social entrepreneurs to innovative public, private and philanthropic sources of capital, and works to address systemic gaps in clean energy, water and food systems and climate adaptation along the way.
A newly launched investment division, Lebec Capital Partners, helps investors structure customized portfolios of private impact funds.
Lebec has secured a strategic investment from Community Capital Management, a $7 billion public fixed-income impact asset manager that wants more exposure to the private impact market.
“CCM seeks to complement its public markets expertise while supporting new private market capital solutions that address societal needs, including sustainability, infrastructure, health outcomes and economic inclusion,” CCM’s Alyssa Greenspan told ImpactAlpha.
Making the case
Alix Lebec launched Lebec in 2020 after helping build WaterEquity, a blended finance vehicle for water solutions in emerging markets.
“Innovative finance redesigns how capital flows to solutions building a resilient global economy and planet by strategically deploying the right capital at the right time,” Lebec told ImpactAlpha.
In addition to its capital group, Lebec has an advisory group and a “narrative change” practice, that advocates for innovative finance through media and entertainment. Its roster of clients include solar irrigation company SunCulture, smallholder agriculture investor Root Capital, and ClimateWorks Foundation.
