Who We Are

Venice Brands is a privately held holding company whose mission is to build category leading brands that focus on health, wellness and sustainability. We directly own majority or significant minority stakes in many emerging companies in the food, beverage, fitness, pet, agricultural and personal care industries. Our team is comprised of entrepreneurs, investment professionals and industry executives who have spent decades founding, investing in and scaling successful consumer brands. We engage in a combination of developing new brands from scratch where we play the role of the entrepreneur and own a substantial piece of the founder equity, investing capital into high-growth brands that typically have $5-15 million of annual revenue, and purchasing controlling (or 100%) stakes in larger cash flow positive businesses. We then help our brands grow and scale by providing hands-on strategic, operating and financial resources. We like to say that we are industry specific but stage agnostic, as we are equally comfortable starting a new company from the ground up (usually with partners) and making a strategic $50+ million acquisition. Our goal is to build our brands into sizable, cash-flow generating businesses with strong customer loyalty and then have the option to strategically exit or to hold them forever.
