Unity Holdings

Last weekend we hosted an Investor Symposium with?Unity Holdings and Sidepocket, discussing access to competitive deals. To earn allocation, investors must proactively build deal flow through relationships. Good founders only accept smart money, knowing that capital is easy to get, so to get in with good founders, investors have to prove value. Once investors start seeing good deals, they still need trust and relationships to get into them. If someone we don't know reaches out to invest in SVRN, we won't let them, because we don't yet know, trust, and like them. For individual investors, syndicates are a major value because the manager spends their time to build great deal flow, conduct the necessary due diligence to present the best deals, and provide value-add to their portfolio companies, thereby increasing their likelihood of success. The 20% carry earned by the manager is more than warranted. This is why the combination of community and syndicate is so powerful, and why SVRN partners with Unity Holdings for events and shared deal flow. - Authentic connection leads to trust - A vetted network provides deal flow and value-add - Expert investors conduct effective due diligence SVRN's core approach is to reimagine deal flow by facilitating co-investment and collaboration through authentic connection and community. Soon, SVRN will present our first SPV for one of our member's companies. Stay tuned... David Li Gordon Tsui Linda L. Daniel Idzkowski ????/????

Attended a Unity Holdings x SVRN event last week, where the topic of finding community as a 3rd culture kid came up. As an Asian American who traveled back and forth between China and the US growing up, it was frequently hard to find a sense of place. Linda L. aptly put it as "we're a little bit of both cultures, and a little bit of neither" It also makes sense that our food would evolve with culture as well. A trend I've noticed in working with CPG founders is that much more increasingly, people want to bring their personal experiences and heritage into the products they're building. Instead of purely Asian food or purely American food, there are now many more options in big box stores, not just the ethnic ones, paying homage to our cultural roots, while carrying influence of our time in the states. Shouting out some of my favorites below: - Dokkaebier: Craft beer with Korean flavors. My favorite is the Kimchi Sour - Omsom: Asian cooking sauces like Lemongrass BBQ and Yuzu Miso. - FLY BY JING: Szechuan chili crisp. If you like Laoganma, you'll like this. - Nectar Hard Seltzer: Hard seltzers with flavors like Lychee and Asian Pear. - Sool: Makku,?an unfiltered rice beer and Soku, a cocktail made with soju. - MìLà: formerly XCJ, best known for their soup dumplings - NARRA: canned milk tea made with oats and no added sugar - Twrl Milk Tea: plant based milk tea with boba toppings Not an exhaustive list by any means, and please comment below if you have recommendations! #aapi #cpg #cpgfounders #foodandbeverage
