Thesis
Selva Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2019, focusing on branded consumer products within the health and wellness sectors. Their investment thesis is driven by a significant consumer shift towards trusted, high-quality products with proven efficacy and meaningful experiences. They primarily invest in Food & Beverage (nutritional products, specialty coffee, protein alternatives, functional drinks), Beauty & Personal Care (skincare, haircare, longevity cosmetics, specialty beauty), and Health & Wellness (supplements, vitamins, pet health, longevity-focused products). The firm leads Seed and Series A funding rounds, with check sizes ranging from $500,000 to $3 million for Seed and $1 million to $5 million for Series A. They prefer to lead or co-lead rounds and emphasize strong brand-building. Their geographic scope is primarily the United States. Fund II, closed in May 2023 with $34 million, follows a $10 million first fund. The firm has made approximately 27 investments to date, with typical check sizes ranging from $100,000 to $5 million.
