Now is the time to create food and fashion products, materials and ingredients for those who care about our earth, its people and other animals.
consumergood.vc finds and supports startups (pre/seed, A/B) that build and design better foods and fashion brands and those that research, invent and create the needed materials to reduce/remove toxins, improve health and do not rely on animals, i.e. vegan and plant-based materials, ingredients and products*.
Note: This syndicate is not a charity and supports for-profit startups based on their likelihood to provide healthy returns in the long term. While the syndicate does not back charities, we applaud the for-profit startups that do or find other ways to give back while making or building towards a healthy profit. (This syndicate is also known as sustainables.vc.)
(* Vegetarian may be tolerated in rare cases and only if animals are provably treated with compassion, love and a focus on their physical and mental health and only when vegan or plant-based alternatives have been explored but could not be used for business critical reasons. Lab grown meats may be tolerated if it is impossible to cause suffering.)
consumergood.vc expects 1-2 deals per year but may deviate depending on market dynamics. Startups raising family/friends, pre/seed and series A/B may be included. Black, people of color, women and neurodiverse founders are strongly encouraged to apply.
