About Chris Burch

Chris Burch is the founder and CEO of Burch Creative Capital, a New York-based firm where he leverages over 40 years of entrepreneurial experience to scale disruptive consumer and lifestyle brands using his own capital rather than traditional venture funds. His investment thesis targets consumer-driven brands with strong storytelling across fashion, hospitality, health, and technology sectors, primarily within the United States. While specific check sizes and lead/follow distinctions are not publicly detailed, Burch often takes significant ownership stakes and assumes active leadership roles in select companies. Notable portfolio companies include Tory Burch, Solid & Striped, STAUD, BaubleBar, and tech unicorns UI Path and Addepar. Burch has publicly articulated a distinctive view that “the idea of brand is going away,” arguing that the future of fashion and luxury will shift toward product authenticity and direct consumer relationships over traditional branding. He continues to co-found and invest in new ventures, including Trademark and ED by Ellen DeGeneres, while maintaining a large shareholder position in Tory Burch LLC.
