Wildwood Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm and growth studio backing bold founders building the future of healthy and active humanity. The firm addresses America's health and wellness crisis — historic levels of loneliness, chronic illness, anxiety, and disconnection from bodies, communities, and the natural world — by investing in B2C and B2B technology companies across five themes: Improve My Health (personalized, preventive, AI-driven diagnostics and healthspan tools), Explore & Move (outdoor recreation and experiential travel), Train & Play (fitness, sports, and play), Connect With My People (platforms fostering meaningful relationships), and Focus My Mind & Spirit (mental clarity, emotional resilience, and purpose). Proudly backed by VF Corporation (The North Face, Vans, Timberland), Wildwood operates as a venture studio that embeds with founders as fractional co-founders through a one-year build program, providing go-to-market strategy, brand amplification, and access to a world-class outdoor and wellness brand ecosystem.
Notable quotes
“Wildwood Ventures is thrilled to launch as the first venture studio focused on the outdoor and wellness industries. Our team is passionate about supporting entrepreneurs who are striving to create meaningful change in people's lives, and we are excited to partner with VF Corporation and its world-class portfolio of brands to make it happen.”
“The studio approach means we can be more hands-on with our portfolio companies. We can't wait to build the next great generation of outdoor and wellness technology businesses with amazing entrepreneurs. One of our core values is Create for People With Purpose. We're building something unique in the venture space.”
“If the customer doesn't care, you're toast. Full stop, there is nothing else. This is the only thing that matters for you over the long term: if you have a system and a cadence and a team that knows how to listen to customers and build what customers want to pay for.”
