We’re consumers, operators, investors and brand builders but most importantly, partners.

Who We Are
Our journey with brands is driven by our cumulative experiences, not just capital. We understand the inflection points of building consumer brands and bring the know-how to navigate in a dynamic landscape. We build brands that last.
Our team, culture and brand lens are intentional. We’re selective because we prioritize partnership and shared strategic alignment.
