Building a VC Fund - Part 10
Alright. Honestly not sure what week we’re on, but… big things are happening, so let’s catch up.
Have you seen the details of our first deal?
Deals on the Line
Smearcase our frozen cottage cheese friends are officially LIVE! Our investors can invest as little as $500 into this SPV
Catching up with HY.Q (more on them coming soon)
The one I’m most excited about? Laurel’s Coffee they do A2 canned lattes and they are the best you’ve ever had
Willa’s oat milk, but make it better (plus a kid’s product flying off shelves)
Glonuts — just trust, this one’s cool
Here’s the thing: the deal flow right now is wild. We literally have too many good opportunities and not enough power to swing the investments I want. We’re punching above our weight class, and sometimes that feels awesome and other times, I worry I’m just hyping founders with hope we can’t guarantee (I’m always transparent: no promises, all risks included).
I want to keep bringing the best deals to the group sometimes I wish we were bigger, but I’m staying patient, keeping the convos positive, and letting the good stuff come when it’s ready.
Big News: Launching The Podcast
I never wanted to use the word “vibe cast,” but… it’s a “vibe”
So here’s the scoop: every weekday, I’m doing a LIVE 10-minute stream on YouTube. It’s going to be clipped for all the short forms too.
The goal? Structured content. Daily.
If you:
Are a syndicate member
Just lurk on this list
Or you’re simply a founder/operator/investor with a hot take…
I WANT YOU AS A GUEST.
We’ll talk deals, what’s current, what’s actually happening in CPG, and maybe get some spicy takes from operators.
Keep it casual, keep it impactful, keep it Thirsty Friends. Everyone on as a guest = a friend; no exceptions.
DM me if you want in, I’ll be reaching out to some of you!
The Hotline Rings
If you haven’t heard about the hotline by now: when the deal hits, the hotline rings.
(Side note: Smearcase hotline is ringing just send me a message if you want the pitch, accredited investors only.)
If you’re just here to watch, awesome. No FOMO, no pressure, no promises just real talk about risk, deal flow, and tasty brands.
I need your help…
No clue how it’s all going to play out. High risk, high reward, tons of excitement.
I believe every one of these brands has a chance to shift the market and culture. That’s why this group exists, and why I keep pushing.
I want to grow the group.
