Investment thesis
Outbound Ventures backs consumer brands that embody the millennial and Gen Z mindset — brands that 'grew up digital' and emphasize sustainability, well-being, quality, and convenience — along with companies deploying novel technology to enhance interactions between brands and consumers. It views millennials and Gen Z as the largest buying group in US history and expects successful brands to adapt to this digital shift. The firm looks for extraordinary, action-focused management teams that have personally felt the pain point they solve, businesses targeting large addressable markets with efficient distribution, and transformational value propositions with clear paths to revenue.
