Learn more about our Rolling Fund, a new type of investment vehicle at Science that we launched last year. The Rolling Fund focuses on private technology companies, including but not limited to Science portfolio companies, and expands Science into Series B investments and beyond. This is a model where you subscribe to our deal flow directly with a quarterly capital commitment. Science Co-founder and Managing Partner Peter Pham and Head of Investor Relations Priscilla J. Guevara introduce the Rolling Fund in the video below. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱, 𝗴𝗲t 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹: https://lnkd.in/gBiBX-Cb. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁?

Our early-stage investment method, which combines gut instincts, real-time data analysis, a team of 15, and a strong network of 145 professionals around the world, has driven strong investor returns with landmark exits like Dollar Shave Club (acquired by Unilever), DogVacay (Acquired by Rover, March 2017) (announced IPO via SPAC), FameBit (acquired by Google), and more. This Rolling Fund is different from our Venture Fund. The Rolling Fund was established to fund our venture capital investments in consumer tech companies and to expand to include Series B investments and beyond. It also allows for greater accredited investor participation than our Venture Fund. Our Venture Fund is focused specifically on early stage companies and is typically accessible to institutional investors. This list is only partial and these investments are not representative of the entire portfolio. Most early-stage investments do not succeed. A complete list of past investments is available upon request.

🎬 I directed and wrote Dogdrop’s first-ever commercial! 🔺We at Science are proud to be part of their journey. Having a studio team (including myself) allows us to lend specific support, such as video production, to our portfolio companies. 📝 Our commercial production process covers pre-production to post-production; from concepting and writers’ rooms to dissemination strategy. Being both a venture studio and content powerhouse uniquely positions us to better understand your needs concerning digital marketing. 📫 Reach out to me directly if you’d like to discuss commercial production. We offer this service to companies outside our portfolio as well.
When it comes to convenience and flexibility, Dogdrop is the place dog parents trust the most for their pups. With our CPR-trained team, curbside pickup, and real-time photo and text updates, Dogdrop is the obvious choice for dog daycare. Whether it’s for an hour or a full day, Dogdrop is here for you. With the support from Science and Sarah Brand, we created our first-ever commercial. Our dog-parent community is A+. The star of the commercial is one of our real-life members and her dog, Cassanova. (Check out their big debut.) We also had other Dogdrop members join in testimonials. Where should we head next? 📍 #petcare #franchise #startups

The best part of making this commercial was working with our members, team members, and investors (Science and Sarah Brand). What do you think of our first ever commercial?

All powered by Vtagz by Mammoth. So proud of everybody involved making this happen. And as always Mike Cessario delivers with some genius ideas. What crazy creative way to bridge digital and retail!
This summer, Liquid Death is doing something no other beverage company has done in the history of the human race: giving away an actual jet. Yes. This is a real jet that goes almost 470 mph with nearly 3,800 lbs of thrust and will come with a valid and effective FAA special certification of airworthiness. (Pilot not included.) All you have to do is go into a physical store and buy as much #LiquidDeath as you can. Then, text a picture of the qualified receipt. Every can you buy gets you an additional entry. So every 8-pack gets you 8 entries, every 24-pack, 24 entries, etc. Max 400 entries per person. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. For full details or to get started, visit liquiddeath.com/jet.
