About
Brand Foundry Ventures is a specialized early-stage venture capital firm and consumer incubator headquartered in New York City. The firm provides hands-on operational capital, combining initial venture financing with intensive internal advisory resources across brand design, supply chain sourcing, and localized go-to-market execution strategies.
Brand Foundry Ventures targets Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A investments in early-stage consumer products, digitally native brands, and vertical commerce enablement software. The firm's investment thesis centers on backing agile operators who are leveraging data-driven direct-to-consumer models and omnichannel frameworks to disrupt legacy consumer product goods categories.
Andrew Mitchell (Founder & Managing Partner) founded Brand Foundry Ventures in 2014 with a specialized thesis backing seed-stage consumer product brands rather than software; he has led investments in Peloton, Allbirds, Warby Parker, Harry's, and Glossier, raising Fund V at $125M to continue the consumer brand thesis. John Yang (Managing Partner) joined as Managing Partner bringing deep consumer venture experience. The firm has made 120+ investments with 37+ successful exits including one unicorn and three IPOs, with average check sizes around $796K.
