Second Sight Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm focused exclusively on consumer brands. The firm backs emerging, high-growth consumer companies across categories including wellness, performance, food and beverage, and digitally native brands. Second Sight positions itself as a specialist consumer investor with deep category expertise and strong brand-building support.
In February 2026, Second Sight Ventures announced the close of a $75 million early-stage consumer fund. The fund is dedicated to backing emerging consumer brands at the earliest institutional stages, typically pre-seed and seed. The strategy emphasizes identifying culturally relevant brands early in their lifecycle and supporting them through product-market fit, retail expansion, and omnichannel scaling.
The $75 million vehicle reflects growing investor conviction in the next generation of digitally native and performance-driven consumer brands. With this fund, Second Sight aims to increase ownership in high-conviction early bets and provide follow-on capital as brands mature. The fund’s portfolio already includes companies such as Lemme, Momentous, Khloud, Superpower, Steven, Breath Death, Sekra, and Blueprint. The firm’s approach combines capital with hands-on operational expertise across brand positioning, retail partnerships, influencer strategy, and performance marketing.
