Investment thesis
DGNL Ventures backs early-stage, high-growth consumer companies spanning consumer technology, consumer goods, and consumer media. The fund seeks unique brands led by distinctive founders that disrupt traditional categories and adopt new business models. It typically invests in post-revenue businesses with at least $1 million in sales, established product, retail distribution, and a strong founding team, though in select cases it partners with founders from day one. As an active, value-added investor, DGNL aims to accelerate portfolio growth through its network of key influencers and industry leaders.
