Green Meadow Ventures Research
Investment Thesis
Green Meadow Ventures is a multi-family office and venture capital firm co-founded by the Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of FabFitFun, Daniel Broukhim and Michael Broukhim. The firm invests in the next generation of tech-enabled consumer and enterprise businesses, with a philosophy rooted in early-stage backing and operational support grounded in their experience scaling FabFitFun from a bootstrapped subscription box business to a globally recognized lifestyle membership platform with hundreds of millions in annual revenue.
The fund believes in backing exceptional founders early in their journey, combining capital with strategic operational guidance, business development support, and access to their network of successful entrepreneurs and operators.
Investment Focus
Green Meadow Ventures invests across two complementary sectors:
Consumer: Tech-enabled consumer brands, subscription models, D2C platforms, lifestyle and wellness companies, and consumer software. Notable portfolio companies include MeUndies, Reformation, ChowNow, and Magic Spoon.
Enterprise Software: B2B SaaS, developer tools and infrastructure, workflow automation, business intelligence, and vertical software solutions serving specific industries.
The firm has also shown interest in emerging technology categories including AI applications, blockchain/crypto, and internet of things (IoT) platforms based on recent portfolio activity.

- Pre-Seed: $250K-$750K for exceptional founders with strong ideas
- Seed: $750K-$3M for teams with initial product validation and early customers
