New Cava Set CAVA GREEN-08.png
 

Cava/Studio is a return to the roots of venture capital, implementing a strategy focused on greater ownership, a fairly concentrated portfolio, and hands-on operational execution rather than a passive, “spray and pray” model geared toward building a large portfolio—a strategy commonly deployed by many venture capital firms.

We believe business building and a focus on execution are more important than assembling a large and, in theory, over-diversified portfolio. Instead, we focus on fewer deals, with deeper engagement, an operator-first approach, creative structuring, and a meaningful set of relationships with entrepreneurs and investors alike.

Cava/Studio - a combination of the best of Private Equity and Venture Capital

Cava/Studio process

  • Cava selects companies and founders who fit our focus to join as Studio companies

  • Upon investment, Cava principals assume operating leadership (e.g. CEO, COO, Exec Chair) and Board director/advisor roles in each Studio company

  • Our experience and hard work directly contribute to the success of Studio companies. This increases both the likelihood of success and the returns on each investment

How does Cava/Studio work? 

In addition to the investment, Cava Studio supports a company through key milestones in the most capital-efficient way to accelerate and de-risk the venture. For example, we help with:

  • Formation of company, the definition of market opportunity, acquiring human capital, product strategy

  • Fundraising, customer building, company building, IP building, product building

  • Acceleration of market building, hiring, commercial partnerships, and growth, liquidity

  • Support of critical functions such as Operations, Finance, Human Resources, and Investor Relations

  • Providing a network of external advisors to support technology and brand development/marketing
