Our Team
Human capital is our greatest resource.
We’ve spent much of our careers building consumer brands ourselves, so we know how hard and how rewarding it is. Our purpose is to put our experiences, insights, and capital to work for visionary founders who have big ambitions to become the iconic brands of the future.

Our Limited Partners
Our investors include a who’s who of industry thought leaders, trailblazers, and success stories. They are breakthrough brand entrepreneurs, retail founders and leaders, and advisors to the most successful brands and retailers in consumer products.
We’re privileged to have these industry insiders as our partners, both for their financial backing as well as the reputation, awareness, and added confidence their involvement brings to the brands we partner with. Across the three funds we’ve raised, over 80% of our investors have returned and reinvested with us. More than 70% of them have increased the size of their investment in successive funds. We think that says a lot about our team, our approach, and the value we help create.
