We are excited to officially announce Cherub’s first founder-led SPV program, making some of our most valuable deal flow available to angel investors at $5K minimum check sizes. 👼 Our first SPV cohort is all focused on brands scaling quickly in the fast growing better-for-you food and beverage space. As consumers demand healthier options, this category continues to expand quickly —set to hit $278B by 2026. Here's a little bit about the three brands that are a part of this cohort: 🍸 Chareau - A better-for-you alcohol brand with $10M in revenue to-date, 250% growth over the last 3 years, and recent expansion into 150+ Whole Foods. 🧃 heywell - Delicious function-forward, adaptogen-rich, sparkling beverages in 2,000+ stores including Wegmans and Erehwon on track to profitability by Q1 2025 and $10M+ in POs. 🥘 khalo - A food wellness brand disrupting the $18B Ayurveda market with the first functional cooking paste for gut health. Think Fly By Jing meets AG1. Swipe through to learn more about these brands and head to our Stories to register for their individual live pitch events, and login to investwithcherub.com to check each of their Data Rooms. What is an SPV exactly? Special purpose vehicles are are used to fractionalize investments and have different investors come into that single use LLC, who's only purpose is to invest into a specific company. This means less paperwork, less back and forth, less legal fees, and lower minimums!

Exciting news -- we're hiring a Founding Engineer! 🙌 🙌 Cherub's first LA TECH WEEK by a16z is in the books -- and while we had two incredible events (and a line a wrapped down Abbott Kinney for our founder / funder mixer!), for me, one of the toughest yet eventually rewarding memories from last week will be working with our eng partners on clawing our way out of closed beta -- y'know, the tech part in tech week. Building a digital product is hard. It requires grace even when others don't have it for you, resilience, and ultra-empathy. That being said, I am so unbelievably excited to announce that Jaclyn Johnson and I are hiring a Full-stack Founding Engineer over here to join our team! Please shout it to the rooftops and send any talented good eggs my way! 😎 Job details & easy apply here: https://lnkd.in/g2KPkDVb (Tech Week photos courtesy of our funder event with the ayana Foundation pre-bug bash on the way winding down Laurel Canyon and during hour 10 of our open beta onboarding bug bash session while also taking care of my 7 month old 😂)

#LATechWeek was made even more special being in great company with ayana Foundation during last week's sunset soirée! 🌅
