Note from Elliot Begoun

We believe in Tardigrades, nimble, capital-efficient, and resilient brands. Brands that say “no” to growth for growth’s sake. Brands that avoid the fundraising hamster wheel and keep burn and fixed costs low. Brands that are focused on unit and channel economics.

Venture Community
This is a different approach to venture capital. Our venture community consists of the amazing entrepreneurs who are part of TIG Brands, our dedicated LPs, industry champions, and venture partners. Together we empower those on the front lines of human health, climate action, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. 

TIG Brands
TIG Brands offers its entrepreneurs a better way to build a brand and a business. One that does not require traveling the well-worn path in pursuit of the mythical unicorn. TIG Brands provides advisory and strategic support, a community of collaborators and champions, and access to the needed capital, programs and people. We build Tardigrades, not Unicorns. Our brands* include: 
The Natural Products conundrum
  • Emerging brands have captured $18 to $20 billion in market share from the top 25 CPG companies in the last 10 years
  • Yet, an estimated 80% to 90% of those brands fail within the first two years
Growing funding gap + angel fatigue = white space for a nimble rolling fund attached to the TIG Brands Community.
  • Insight –TIG Brands has deep insight into the companies in its community and knows the capability and limitations of their founders
  • Earmarked – targeted investments with specific and directed use of proceeds. Average checks will be between $50k and $250k
  • Support – must be an active part of the TIG Brands Community and the TIG Collective for a minimum of six months prior and one-year post-investment
  • No solicitation – no pitching, We provide the capital when and where it is needed
  • Diversity - prioritizing women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ founders 
Thesis
  • Natural Product food, beverage, personal care, and supplements brands
  • Pre-seed to Series A
  • Part of the TIG Brands community
  • Equity, subordinated debt, secondary purchases, and co-investment
  • Check size $50k to $250k
  • Priority given to women, BIPOC, LGBTQ led brands 
Why Invest?
  • TIG Brands has deep insight into the companies in its community and knows the capability and limitations of their founders
  • We provide the capital when and where it is needed and only to the companies that are part of the TIG Brands community
  • Funds are deployed, directed, and supported
  • The LP benefits of a rolling fund
  • Capital combined with support, community, and access
  • Future exits start with early money

The performance of past deals or a lead investors' track record is not a guarantee of future returns. Venture capital fund investments are inherently risky and illiquid. Such investments involve a high degree of risk and are suitable only for sophisticated and accredited investors.

The Fund Lead and the fund's investment advisor have the right to waive or charge additional carry to certain investors. The fund's legal name may be different from the name used above.
This fund may accept new investors after the fund undergoes a valuation update. Certain potential investors in the fund may then have access to materially different information concerning fund value at the time of their investment.
Current or future portfolio companies in this fund may use AngelList's recruiting platform and may pay an affiliate of the fund's investment adviser for premium recruiting tools and services.
