Investment thesis
New Voices Fund invests at the intersection of shifting consumer need states, emerging market demands, and evolving technology, backing companies led by visionary teams. It targets category-defining consumer brands and services and the commerce infrastructure that supports them. The firm favors businesses that anticipate changing consumer and business behaviors, unlock new purchasing patterns, and boost productivity across the commerce ecosystem through innovation and technology. Rather than serving narrowly defined communities, it backs companies addressing the universal needs of an increasingly diverse and interconnected consumer base. Beyond capital, the firm leverages its operating capabilities and ecosystem to raise the likelihood of portfolio company success.
