We believe the behavior and technology shifts of today will define generations.
We back the Seed stage teams driving innovations that make every day healthier & happier, for everyone. We invest in b2c and b2b2c companies creating massively impactful, long-term solutions for everyday human needs—preventative care, longevity, holistic wellness, affordable nutrition, efficacious ingredients, sustainable materials, commerce enablement and many more.
Our inaugural fund is dedicated to supporting the next generation of founders with a new venture playbook: one that’s focused on bold innovation, long-term defensibility, and capital-efficient scalability from the inception.
By founders. For founders.
Palette is founder-led and founder-backed.
We’ve been there, so we know the value of operational support at the earliest stages. We want to help founders achieve their ambitions through capital, community, and connection.
GPs, Nina Faulhaber and Rana Taghdisi Argenio are ex-Goldman Sachs and ex-Index Ventures, and have spent the past decade as founders and operators of their own venture-backed and bootstrapped companies, across DTC, Wholesale and Manufacturing.
