A community development venture capital fund - abbreviated to CDVC - provides equity capital to businesses in underinvested markets, seeking market-rate financial returns, as well as the creation of good jobs, wealth, and entrepreneurial capacity. CDVC funds are mission-driven entities that invest in for-profit businesses. Growth of these businesses delivers financial returns for the fund and its investors and social returns for the communities in which they are located. This focus on both financial and social returns is sometimes referred to as the double bottom line.
