CEI Ventures Invests in Hyperlite Mountain Gear and Pika Energy

During the first quarter of 2018, CEI Ventures invested in Hyperlite Mountain Gear of Biddeford, and Pika Energy of Westbrook.

In a recently published Bangor Daily News article, Chandler Jones, principal at CEI Ventures, said of Hyperlite Mountain Gear, “They’re a prime example of what can happen in a flyover state like Maine. They’ve been able to build on a legacy industry [textiles] that had fallen on bad times. They are part of the resurgence of that industry.”

Another article published by the Press Herald describes these significant venture capital investments.
