Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Outbound Ventures?
The firm's website identifies Luis Gonzalez and Jimmy Thermiotis as the team, listing no other investment professionals and no formal titles or external investment committee. Allocation decisions appear to sit with them directly, typical of an early-stage partnership where principals source and approve deals personally.
Does Outbound Ventures participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Available information only confirms direct investments into portfolio companies. Outbound's website lists individual company names — Dandy, Cann, Laika — without reference to fund-of-funds commitments or LP positions in external vehicles. Its operational pattern aligns with a direct, check-writing model.
What investment stages does Outbound Ventures typically target?
The portfolio reflects seed and early-stage bets: consumer brands (Better Booch kombucha, Junzi Kitchen fast-casual food) launching in their home markets, and B2B platforms (Butter food wholesale, Fitco fitness management) building initial user bases in Latin America. Some holdings, like Moonshot Brands, indicate participation in growth-stage e-commerce consolidation, but the center of gravity is early, often pre-Series A.
Which sectors does Outbound Ventures avoid?
The firm does not publish a negative screening list, but its stated manifesto — consumer brands with a "grew up digital" mindset and technology enhancing brand-consumer interactions — effectively excludes hard tech, deep science, and heavy industry. No biotech, semiconductor, or enterprise infrastructure plays appear in the disclosed portfolio.
