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 😂)

Co-Founder of Khalo | On a mission to radically change our relationship with food | Holistic Living | Ayurvedic Chef
✨ I'm excited to announce that Cherub is co-leading khalo's pre-seed raise✨ khalo is on a mission to become the world’s largest modern Ayurvedic food brand, bringing ancient wellness practices into modern kitchens. Ayurveda is now a $18B global industry -- and we're driven to make it as accessible and mainstream as yoga within the US. Our first-to-market functional spice-blended cooking pastes combine bold flavors with gut health benefits—think AG1 meets Fly By Jing. 🌟 Some recent milestones: ✅ Sold out of our first 500-unit preorder in just 10 days ✅ Secured partnerships with restaurants, health practitioners, and select NYC retailers for 2025 growth As I was thinking about our raise this year, I knew we wanted to bring on aligned, intentional investors who believe in Ayurveda as the future of the 'food as medicine' category. Everything carries energy, and it's essential for us to surround ourselves with evangelists who uplift, empower, and share our mission to redefine how we nourish our bodies and minds. We’re excited to welcome Cherub Capital as a co-lead investor in our Pre-seed raise. We've been hand-picked by Cherub for their first cohort, joining inspiring brands like Ceremonia, heywell, & Chareau. Cherub Capital is a platform that connects founders with angel investors, fostering long-term relationships by providing both capital and strategic mentorship, primarily in consumer packaged goods, tech, and wellness sectors. Last week, I had the privilege of attending LA Tech Week with Cherub and the ayana Foundation , a 501(c)(3) foundation, uplifts women founders worldwide through education, community, and enhanced access to funding, where Khalo was a featured brand. I connected with an incredible community of founders and investors dedicated to uplifting and supporting female-led brands.
