SalaryWho We Are
We believe that capital has the ability to transform communities for the better.
As an impact investor, Advantage Capital’s mission is to bring businesses, resources and jobs to communities that have historically lacked access to investment capital, while also generating competitive returns for our investors, proving that conscious capitalism is possible. Since 1992, Advantage Capital has invested more than $3.8 billion in over 900 companies and projects, spanning a diverse array of industry sectors. We’ve built a sterling track record of public-private partnerships with state and federal governments and private institutional investors, directly creating tens of thousands of jobs, thousands of units of housing, and millions of kwh of clean, Renewable Energy in underserved communities and industries. Advantage Capital's Renewables Team stands as our dedicated investment arm for Renewable Energy. Established in 2017, our team concentrates on three primary areas. First, we source, evaluate, and manage tax equity investments and credit transfers for institutional clients. Second, we invest cash equity in Renewable Energy projects located within designated Opportunity Zones. Third, we oversee our stake in Hoosier Solar, an Indiana-based solar project development company, alongside other Renewable Energy initiatives. Though we're a nimble team, we're growing very fast, constantly seeking fresh avenues to add value in energy-transition-affected sectors like solar, energy storage, wind, carbon capture, and green hydrogen. Our goal is to strategically deploy capital to support Renewable Energy projects and developers in this dynamic industry. Join us as we pave the way for a sustainable energy future and invest in a better tomorrow together.
