Evolution of a Green Energy Investment Company

 

Financial SenseCeladon Investments evolved from an investment company founded in 2000, W Ventures, to the green energy investment firm it is today. The company’s current mandate began taking shape mid-2005, after collaboration with many likeminded professionals working in the LED and green technologies. Realizing a superior product, a market primed for sustainable green technologies and an opportunity to bring together several highly accomplished designers and award-winning patent-holding engineers, the company was restructured in late 2006 and began operating as a separately branded entity, Celadon Investments.

 

Our founders

 

Celadon Investments’ founders, Chris White and Gina Rohrer White, combine many years of experience in venture capital and investment, business management, marketing and commercial real estate.

 

Gina, who serves as Celadon Investments’ participating Managing Director, contributes over 20 years of experience in operations, marketing and sales, product development and new product launches in the commercial real estate arena. Twice she successfully introduced new products into established markets. Most recently, Gina helped grow her previous employer’s business from less than $50 million to $800 million in under three years. She is particularly adept at identifying underserved needs in existing markets and introducing superior products that gain ground quickly by surpassing existing product offerings.

 

Chris, who serves as Celadon Investments president, has been an angel investor for the past 12 years. He has an aptitude for cultivating relationships with and developing start-ups and small ventures into successful companies. Part of this success can be attributed to his experience in business and people management — experience he shares with the companies he funds, helping them grow and become more adept players in their respective markets.
