We back the brands shaping what's next.
TBD Ventures has raised millions for founder-led brands across beverage, CPG, wellness, and consumer tech. We invest. We raise capital through SPVs. We bring the connections and operator firepower to scale them. 20+ years operating inside the brands you know.
We back the brands changing what people drink, eat, and feel, and bring the capital, connections, and execution that turn good ideas into category leaders.
Capital is the start. TBD Ventures partners with founder-led brands at the moment that decides whether they become the next category leader, or fade into noise. We invest. We raise capital through our SPVs. We advise. We open doors founders can't open alone. And we do it from the operator's seat, because we've sat in it.
Built by an operator. Run for founders.
TBD Ventures has raised millions of dollars for emerging consumer brands. We invest. We co-invest. We raise capital through SPVs. And we advise founders at every stage, from product launch to category leader.
For the past seven years, founder Trevor Hague has been building TBD inside the better-for-you category. He invests in, raises capital for, and advises the founders shaping what consumers actually reach for next, across beverage, CPG, wellness, and consumer tech. The relationships, the deal flow, and the operator instincts behind TBD today have all been built in this space, on the ground, with the brands and founders moving the category forward.
The result: an investor founders actually want at the table, and a network LPs trust to find the breakouts before everyone else does. The best capital partners are the ones who've already done the work.
Background: Prior to TBD, Trevor spent nearly 15 years in the alcohol industry, including leadership roles at Constellation Brands, Beam Suntory, William Grant & Sons, and Stoli Group.
