I've been pretty quiet on here lately, but behind the scenes I've been spending a lot of time with founders and looking at new companies. Here are a few consumer brands I think are doing something really interesting right now: Anagenesiss makes award-winning olive leaf tea, supplements, and olive oil from their family estate in Kalamata, Greece. Healez Beauty is a Malaysian skincare brand using stabilized hypochlorous acid to help acne-prone and sensitive skin without being harsh. AWEAR is a small EEG ear patch that detects stress before you even notice it. Wild Ones Organics is building a strong DTC brand with real potential to win in retail too. Montanya Distillers is a female-founded Colorado rum that has been fermented, distilled, and aged at 9,000 feet since 2008. Goldie is lemonade sweetened only with Manuka honey, with a full teaspoon in every can. What's the most exciting consumer brand you've come across lately? Tag them below. I'd love to find some new ones.
I think Hannah Käufer is building something ridiculous; ai agents designed specifically for mothers, currently in stealth I believe but early signals look really promising.
Thank you so much for the shoutout, Lane! Can't wait to keep working together as we grow Healez in the U.S.
Super excited about Drizzy 🥜
Angie has been building an amazing women's athletic wear brand at Pulze Athletics with real IP and tackling real world problems, not just another cult following or cute design. 🚀
