The need for technology in consumer serving businesses, combined with the breathtakingly rapid advancement of AI and other technologies, makes the consumer tech space one of the most dynamic areas for early stage investing. We are excited to be well-connected and right in the middle of this exciting industry.

We articulate on our investment thesis in our Investment POV, which in turn drives our focus on the following four core innovation areas:

1. Commerce Enablement. Startups fueling the digital transformation of retail.

These ventures will help redefine commerce and create a seamless buying experience.

This includes shoppable content, product-as-a-channel, loyalty commerce, service retailing, trans-channel experiential retailing, and AI bot-mediated commerce.
3. Consumer Healthtech. Ventures making personalized health outcomes more accessible and efficient. This includes technology platforms for consumer health, remote health services, subscription wellness, health outcomes-as-a-service, and aging-in-place & assured living solutions.
