Thesis

We invest in seed-stage companies building consumer brands you can't live without. We back founders with domain expertise who understand brand fundamentals, customer experience, and sustainable business models. Focus on tangible goods and direct-to-consumer models over pure software.

Likely not a fit for

We don't invest in pure software companies, businesses without brand differentiation, or companies without clear operational expertise. We avoid founders lacking consumer market understanding.
