Brand Manager – Venice Brands

Location: Venice, CA

Venice Brands Background: Venice Brands is a privately held consumer brands holding company based in Los Angeles whose mission is to build category leaders with a focus on health, wellness and sustainability. Founded in 2016, we own majority or significant minority stakes in many emerging brands in the food, beverage, fitness, pet and personal care industries. We’re an experienced team of entrepreneurs and industry executives who have spent decades founding, investing in and scaling successful consumer brands. We work very closely with our management teams to grow and scale our brands, offering a shared service model across several functions. We engage in a combination of developing new brands ourselves where we play the role of the entrepreneur and own the founder equity, investing growth capital into existing brands that meet our criteria, and purchasing controlling stakes in cash flow positive businesses where we can add significant value post-acquisition. We then help these brands grow 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 brand from scratch and making a $50+ million acquisition, having done both in the past twelve months. Our model is unique, and that’s what excites us.
