Joyance Partners invests in companies that, through science and technology, cultivate joy to improve the way we live. The firm focuses on companies that deliver 'Delightful Moments' — small but powerful experiences of joy and well-being enabled by new technologies and scientific advances. Joyance invests across North America, Europe, and Asia in the health and consumer sectors from pre-seed to Series A, with particular emphasis on personal health, techbio, beauty, food and beverage, and sustainability.
