The Craftory is focused on progressive Consumer Packaged Goods brands. We love consumable products, categories that consumers shop frequently and that impact their daily lives. This is how CPG can quickly generate large-scale positive impact. The Craftory only invests in businesses that are aligned with our righteous causes. Our investment thesis is designed to prove sustainable, cause-capitalism is the only viable way forward. We don’t do startups or seed funding. We are growth capital focused on the “X10” leap from $20/30m to $200/300m and beyond. If your run rate is less than $15m but you have a strong cause we may be able to help in other ways. Could the products or services you offer support and accelerate the positive impact of the consumer-facing brands in our portfolio? If the answer is a clear yes then we could be interested.

We aim to support forward thinking, progressive businesses with investment, value creation, and potential access to partnerships.

Traceability, transparency, fair labor and supply chain practices will restore trust, decrease risk and strengthen communities. Sustainable diet: Resilience rooted in diversity. New sources of food are required to end overreliance on a few species, monoculture systems and climate-destructive diets. Fresh & delicious: Quality led innovation. New approaches are needed in distribution, packaging that preserves without polluting and urban agriculture to put great tasting food on the table. Nourishment: Food as medicine. Sustainably grown and minimally processed foods protect and promote health. Protection: Waste not, want not. Greater care and efficient use of natural capital, alongside new methods to repurpose waste, are needed to repair the planet.
