Maveron is a consumer-only venture capital firm founded in 1998 by Dan Levitan and Howard Schultz, the former CEO of Starbucks, with offices in Seattle and San Francisco[1][2]. The firm invests exclusively in early-stage consumer businesses, targeting pre-seed, seed, and Series A companies across sectors including commerce, education, and health and wellness[1][2]. Typical initial investments range from $3 million to $10 million, with the firm often seeking to underwrite every investment so it can return the full fund[1][9]. Notable portfolio companies include eBay, Zulily, Allbirds, and Trupanion[8]. Maveron distinguishes itself by focusing on the “Consumer Continuum,” partnering with entrepreneurs whether they have three stores, a great idea, or unlaunched technology[6]. As a certified B Corporation since June 2021, the firm emphasizes building an inclusive and sustainable economy, reflecting its values-centric approach[1][8].
