West Harlem
Innovation Network

A new paradigm for Opportunity Zone investing

About

Spring Mountain Capital has created a new investment strategy that leverages the Opportunity Zone legislation to positively impact communities while continuing to execute on our opportunistic, flexible, and progressive model of investing. As we will be focusing on Opportunity Zones in and around Greater Harlem, we have named our strategy the West Harlem Innovation Network – or WHIN for short.

Unlike other Opportunity Zone investment strategies, WHIN is decidedly not focused on real estate. Rather than funneling capital into rehabilitating, and repurposing buildings, WHIN will focus on enabling, catalyzing and developing new businesses and entrepreneurial talent in West Harlem and other historically underinvested communities.

WHIN will invest across the growth cycles of dynamic and innovative companies in four synergistically-related sectors – Life Sciences, Education, Augmenting Technology, and Food and Beverages.
