Investment thesis
Curate Capital invests in early-stage, female-led consumer packaged goods brands, aiming to propel their growth through what it terms Influential Investing, which pairs capital with mentorship, resources, and a large social influencer network. Based in Houston, Texas, the firm emphasizes supporting female entrepreneurs who are often overlooked by the traditional venture ecosystem. Having funded 16 companies and invested over $18M through its first fund, Curate is raising a larger second fund with the goal of backing 40+ new female-founded startups, while scaling operations, building a larger team, and adopting more rigorous diligence frameworks.
