Who We Are: Vanterra Capital is a leading private equity investment firm that develops specialized fund platforms. We formed Vanterra Ventures (“VV”) in 2019, a venture capital fund designed to capitalize on the substantial market opportunity in early-stage Health & Wellness while leveraging our team’s successful track record in private equity. We invest across physical products and digital services within Consumer Goods (e.g., food & beverage, vitamins & supplements), Digital Health (e.g., mental health), and Commerce Enablement (e.g., data & analytics). We have a flexible mandate that allows us to invest in Seed to Series C companies.

More importantly, VV maintains a special culture and value set. We value curiosity, transparency, and an ability to roll up one’s sleeves. We strive to be thoughtful and good-natured but are all relentless in our daily effort to build a market leading venture franchise.
