Investment Thesis

Oyster Bay believes that how we nourish ourselves defines our future—shaping health, thinking, memories, and human connection. They invest in founders who disrupt the food system for both economic and ecological benefit. Their approach is grounded in first-hand operational and entrepreneurial experience in the food & beverage sector, allowing them to deeply understand founder challenges and provide hands-on support from seed through Series B.

What Sets Them Apart

  • All team members invest their own money into funds—when the team invests, 'we are all-in'
  • Only invest in 1-2 companies per quarter, preferring to lead rounds with significant follow-on reserves
  • Entire team brings operational and entrepreneurial experience from the food sector (team includes former founders and long-time industry operators)
  • Selective, thoughtful approach: 'We hate wasting time, yours and ours'
  • Prefer to meet founders 6+ months before fundraising to build deep relationships
  • Deep expertise across entire food value chain with demonstrated success (Oatly IPO, multiple exits)
