Profile

Align Ventures is a consumer-focused venture capital firm headquartered in New York. Established in 2018 by Managing Partners Ben Bryce and Grant Hosking, the firm's team comprises investment professionals and operators with expertise in consumer brands and strategic acquisitions. The team includes Andrew Ferrero, Peyton Raun, and Melanie Singh, supported by growth-capital partner Neel Chary. Their diverse backgrounds from companies like Left Lane Capital and The Estee Lauder Companies provide Align with significant industry insights.

Align Ventures targets early-stage consumer brands, mainly those involved in beauty, personal care, health, wellness, pet, and home sectors. They typically make initial investments of $2-10 million in U.S.-based businesses, and have a platform AUM of over $2.5 billion. Notable funds include Fund I (vintage 2019), which achieved high marks on TVPI, Net IRR, and DPI. Align's portfolio spans across different stages due to their multi-vehicle platform, including growth capital and secondaries.

Some of Align's notable investments include Coterie - premium baby care, Touchland - hand sanitizing solutions, Hims - telehealth for men, Olipop - healthy sodas, and California Naturals - clean beauty. Their strategic approach to consumer investment prioritizes potential for strategic acquisitions, as demonstrated by successful exits like Touchland's sale to Church & Dwight.
