Our Portfolio
Your business is your passion. Our business is helping you bring it to life.
Investment is a moment.
Partnership is a journey.
At AIR, entrepreneurial spirit is in our DNA. We are second-generation founders, following in the footsteps of our families, direct marketing pioneers who co-founded Guthy-Renker. Watching the family business launch hundreds of consumer brands, and witnessing both its successes and failures, taught us how important it is to take smart risks for what you believe in.
In 2022, AIR Ventures was born.
AIR Ventures is an early-stage micro-fund based in Los Angeles that backs founders building the next generation of consumer companies and emerging technologies.
