Funding nimble, capital-efficient, resilient brands

Venture Community

The TIG Venture Community is a unique and innovative venture capital fund that is committed to supporting amazing founders and helping to bring their brands to the next level. This community consists of incredible entrepreneurs who are part of TIG Brands, dedicated limited partners (LPs), industry champions, and venture partners.

With the growing funding gap and angel fatigue in the market, TIG Venture Community sees a white space for its nimble rolling fund that is attached to the TIG Brands community. TIG Brands has a deep insight into the companies in its community and the capabilities and limitations of our founders. This insight allows us to make targeted investments with specific and directed use of proceeds. The average check size will be between $50k and $250k.

To be eligible for investment, brands must be an active part of the TIG Brands community and TIG Collective for a minimum of six months prior and one-year post-investment, or affiliated with one of TIG's partners. TIG Venture Community does not solicit pitches and instead provides capital when it can be best utilized to propel the brand forward. TIG Venture Community prioritizes diversity, with a focus on women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ founders.

TIG Venture Community invests in Tardigrades, not Unicorns, with a focus on creative and innovative deal structures that maximize impact and return. 20% of the fund is invested in innovative structures such as CAREs and secondary purchases. A warrant bank, hybrid debt, and equity investments, milestone-triggered tranches, and zero carry carve-outs for co-investment are also part of TIG Venture Community's investment approach.

The rolling fund structure offers LPs control over capital contributions and the flexibility to enter and exit the fund as they please, with quarterly contributions as low as $10,000.  LP town halls are held to review planned investments for the quarter, With our focus on innovative investment strategies and commitment to supporting founders, TIG Venture Community is poised to change the way entrepreneurs and investors approach CPG venture capital.
