Investment thesis
Rivet Ventures pursues opportunities it considers good but underappreciated by consensus, believing that backing overlooked companies yields attractive returns while offering social utility. It emphasizes consumer-facing companies, arguing the sector still holds large opportunities despite skepticism. The firm's core conviction is that women represent the largest and most underserved consumer segment, so companies that deliberately target the female market are better positioned to capture demand than those acquiring female customers incidentally. Beyond capital, Rivet leverages an experienced, diverse team and an extensive LP base to assist portfolio companies with financing structure, product and UI design, hiring, and business development.
