Our Approach.

Consumer obsessed

We exclusively focus on consumer brands and the consumer ecosystem. We have a deep understanding of the consumer journey and the levers that drive success.

Flexible

We invest globally, with a preference for brands doing $1-25m revenue. We are comfortable leading or participating in rounds and typically invest $200K-$5m.

Product + Brand

We look for superior products competing on quality and efficacy and capable of generating strong gross margins. We back differentiated brands with strong social and community feedback and a clear reason to exist.

Founder-led

We back strong founders that live and breathe their brand. We look for obsessive founders with the skills and team to execute and build a $50m+ revenue business.
