We love investing at the intersection of consumer and biotech -- in brands that have science at their core. We look for CPG brands that are using novel actives, materials, packaging, etc, to solve everyday problems for the consumer. We love unsexy categories and taboo issues -- things like eczema and home pest control. We believe that clinical evidence is an asset. We look for brands that are better for human health and better for the environment.
