Thesis

We invest in diverse leadership teams with the ability to create flywheel effects of growth in new markets. We focus on three core areas: Commerce (identifiable brands with data-driven opportunities), Care (tech-enabled health and wellness innovations), and Connectivity (platforms enhancing information expression and distribution). We believe women are not underfunded but untapped, and we're positioned at an inflection point in venture to elevate women to C-suite leadership roles.

Likely not a fit for

We avoid commodity businesses, teams lacking operational discipline, and founders unwilling to leverage operational guidance. Not interested in founders primarily motivated by quick exits rather than building enduring companies.

Imaginary Ventures$100K–$10M

Founded by Natalie Massenet and Nick Brown, the fund targets culture-defining digitally native consumer brands using a customer-wallet, consumer-journey lens, backing underrepresented founders and sustainable, Web3-enabled retail. Imaginary Ventures is co-founded by Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet and veteran consumer VC Nick Brown, organizing investments around the 'customer wallet' and consumer journey rather than traditional category silos, with a portfolio deliberately over-indexed to culture-defining digitally native brands like Glossier, Skims, and Reformation. The fund explicitly structures investments to back underrepresented founders (with ~50% of Fund I founded by women) and focuses on circularity, sustainable consumption, and Web3 as the next frontier for consumer brands, positioning itself as one of the few consumer VCs operationalizing how brands will manifest in virtual and hybrid retail.
