We invest in visionary founders who understand the needs of today to build the brands of tomorrow.
We call these BrandProjects.
We designed BrandProject to help founders succeed across three key stages:
Incubate
We incubate new businesses from scratch with our start-up team, investing $500K to $2M.
Accelerate
We accelerate pre-seed and seed stage brands, investing $750K to $2M.
Scale
We help scale Series A brands with growth capital from $1M to $5M.
We have the privilege of partnering and investing in talented founders and their emerging brands.
BrandProject’s team has partnered with seed-stage founders, supporting their efforts to build world-class brands. We have tremendous respect for the founders we have partnered with and take great pride in watching them succeed.

We have a passion for helping founders reach their dreams.
“I have been fortunate to have spent over a decade learning from three of the world’s most visionary founders - Sir Richard Branson, Nike’s Phil Knight, and LEGO’s Kjeld Kristiansen. They are relentless in their focus in delighting customers, they put people first and they inspire teams to achieve greater things than they thought possible. They inspired me to found BrandProject and to follow in their footsteps helping founders reach for their dreams.”
