OUR THESIS
AUTHENTIC ALIGNMENT BETWEEN TALENT & BRAND
We invest only where there is a deep, credible connection between the celebrity and the product or category. Authenticity drives long-term engagement, consumer trust, and organic brand advocacy. The structure of our deals ensures celebrities are not just endorsers, but true thought partners tied to performance, governance, and value creation.
BUILT-IN AUDIENCE, ACCELERATED AWARENESS
We leverage the celebrity’s owned distribution channels—social, media, press—to achieve outsized brand awareness and customer acquisition at a lower cost for portfolio companies.
SCALABLE BUSINESS FUNDAMENTALS
We back companies with defensible margins, operational rigor, and a path to scale—regardless of celebrity involvement. Decades of operational expertise allow us to identify and nurture under appreciated opportunities.
CULTURAL RELEVANCE AS A STRATEGIC MOAT
