Torana Group

Torana Group is a novel investment firm that invests capital to stabilize society. Where others see expendable resources, we find essential value. We invest in mature and growth stage businesses where essential resources - like soil, water, frontline labor - must be managed in drastically different ways, at a time when markets must work for all or risk collapse. We invest debt and equity into businesses where human and natural resources are strategic drivers of enterprise value.

We currently manage the impact-first investment fund of Proofing Station, a charitable investment fund focused on financing gaps in the Midwest regional food system. Proofing Station’s fund invests through debt, equity and credit enhancement structures along 4 core focus areas: Sustainable Cultivation, Regional Infrastructure, Excluded Market Players, Land and Real Assets.
