What makes us Evergreen?
Stewardship
Our 100-year fund structure allows us to invest beyond the constraints of traditional private equity. We deploy our unique capital base responsibly. We prefer to focus on fewer investments, taking the time to understand the details that impact a company, and pride ourselves on being thoughtful, engaged partners.Cooperation
We take a holistic approach to growth, providing resources beyond capital to create equity value. This includes intangibles like time and patience, two qualities that stem from our commitment to be thoughtful partners as much as effective investors. We share in the challenges and successes of our partners, rolling up our sleeves alongside teams to compound value as we compound growth.Effectiveness
We help to build strong, profitable companies that harness growth and stand the tests of time. In our partnerships with management teams, we know that operating rigor magnifies the impact of capital for the benefit of all stakeholders. Our flexible investment horizon allows us to make the best decisions at the right time, while our effectiveness as partners is straightforward: be good listeners, speak candidly, be prepared, and share the risks and the rewards.Social Responsibility
We believe in conscious consumer brands that practice transparency and accountability to the planet and the people who share it while generating profitable growth. We partner to make ESG initiatives an integral part of our strategic planning, and also use an ESG framework developed by our team to understand opportunities and risks for our investments.

836M is proud to announce Kelp!, a collaborative exhibition with the 836M gallery, Erol Foundation, and the Above/Below project. Featuring six months of programming centered around bull kelp, the foundational species of California’s coastal marine ecology, this exhibition aims to bring art and science together to inspire wonder, activate visitors’ curiosity about bull kelp, catalyze action to protect our forests of the sea.
The gallery is transformed into an immersive environment featuring prints on textile by Josie Iselin, cyanotypes by Ann Holsberry, kelp sculptures by Lina Jane Prairie, prints by Laurie Sawyer, a tondo by Tiffany Bozic, and a stunning mural by Ellen Litwiller in the adjacent office space.
Kelp forests form the foundation of California’s coastal marine ecology and are crucial climate regulators. Unfortunately, the ocean forests along California’s North Coast have declined since 2014 due to a convergence of natural factors and human impacts on the oceans. Globally, kelp forests are critical for biodiversity and climate mitigation but are disappearing fast.
