Investment thesis

Origins invests in early-stage consumer technology companies, backing strong teams building category-defining consumer products from pre-seed to Series A. It differentiates itself by leveraging the social media influence of its limited partners — athletes and celebrities with a combined audience of roughly 160 million followers — to drive visibility and growth for its portfolio companies. The firm writes first checks of $100,000 to $500,000 and reserves follow-on capital for its most promising companies, positioning itself for long-term partnership with founders creating new consumer categories.
