Our Investment Fund
NPC previously made 13 investments off its balance sheet. This success validated the need for a dedicated venture fund. So NPC was the catalyst for Nadarra Ventures, a separate, for-profit fund to seize the incredible opportunities we see across the country that can meet the growing demand for clean, green and natural products, technologies and services.
Investor Meetings
We deliver a steady pipeline of vetted investment opportunities through investor meetings and online Virtual Pitch sessions.
