Selva Ventures

Selva Ventures is a venture capital firm founded in 2019 that specializes in investing in emerging consumer brands with a focus on health, wellness, and self-care. The firm targets companies with less than $10 million in sales, providing early-stage capital without a minimum revenue threshold. Selva Ventures supports founders through strategic advice, capital strategy, and future fundraising assistance to help build businesses the right way.

The firm invests across several consumer-focused categories including Food & Beverage, Beauty & Personal Care, Pet Products, Wellness, Apparel & Accessories, and Home Goods. Selva Ventures emphasizes themes such as nutrient density, healthier alcohol alternatives, lower sugar products, better energy solutions, plant-based innovations, and clean beauty. Their investment approach is guided by a proprietary 5M framework focusing on megatrends, market opportunity, management, momentum, and matter.

Led by founder and Managing Partner Kiva Dickinson and Partner Madeline Kaplan, Selva Ventures leverages deep industry experience and a powerful network to help scale brands that improve consumers' lives. The firm is backed by permanent capital from family offices, allowing it to be patient and founder-friendly. Selva Ventures has closed multiple funds, including a $34 million second fund supported by strategic partners like Unilever Ventures.
