Lizzy Vela shared thisNext week I'll be making my way to SUPERZOO to represent ForceBrands, and I can't wait to connect with the people behind some of the most consumed brands in my household. Whether it's talking talent strategy, leadership, or building high-performing teams, I'm ready for it all. Naturally, my Lab, Raleigh, insisted on making a guest appearance in this post. She lobbied pretty hard to attend SUPERZOO herself as a future influencer, but her rates and demands of tennis balls and peanut butter were too high. She's staying home to hold down the fort—and judge my packing skills (which she very much dislikes.) If you're heading to Vegas, let's find time to connect. I'd love to meet, catch up, and talk about what's next for the pet industry. See you at SUPERZOO! 🐶

Lizzy Vela reacted on thisLizzy Vela reacted on thisExcited to see countless founders and investors and retailers at Founderland.us tomorrow!!

Lizzy Vela reacted on thisLizzy Vela reacted on thisThe Family Fund & Founder Community's annual meeting featured their portfolio companies, their LPs, a couple days together. Three years ago Sean said to Josh, what if we just extended it a day and opened it up? That idea turned into Founderland.us, one of the leading events in all of CPG. Now it's a thousand founders, CEOs, retailers and investors on a 250 acre ranch. I asked Josh what surprised him most from last year. He said 17 companies came back and told them the event is the reason they got a retail partner or got funded. A couple of them ended up selling their companies off relationships that started there. None of it was planned. People just ran into each other. Founderland is Thursday. I'll be there. The latest episode of Consumer VC is out now where I had the pleasure talking with Josh about the founding story of Founder. Links below in comments to listen. You can apply to come in via the link in the comments below. Thank you Josh for coming on the show!

Lizzy Vela reacted on thisLizzy Vela reacted on thisMy feed is filling up with faces of founders headed to Malibu next Thursday for Founderland, and I keep having the same thought: “I can’t wait to see them.” Followed pretty quickly by, “I need to make sure they connect.” Because when the right people are in the same space IRL, great things tend to happen. That’s what Founderland is about: bringing exceptional founders, retailers, strategics, and partners together and creating the environment for meaningful connections and partnerships to flourish. And yes, founders deserve their moment in the spotlight. Looking forward to reconnecting with friends, creating new partnerships, and bringing great leaders together. This is the place where founders have fun and deals get done. Founderland. October 1. Malibu. 🌴 Sean Kelly Shannon Kelly Colleen Kang Christine Wang The Family Fund & Founder Community

Lizzy Vela reacted on thisLizzy Vela reacted on thisFounderland is right around the corner, and the anticipation is real. Founderland.us is part industry gathering, part festival, and entirely its own thing - bringing together an incredible mix of founders, CEOs, investors, retailers, and all-around brilliant consumer people for a day of big ideas, real connection, and a whole lot of fun. And this year’s activations sound delightfully unhinged in the best possible way. A choose-your-own peptide shot bar, an island seemingly airlifted from Ibiza, froyo, noodles with a side of astrology, dirty sodas, caviar and shmears, chili-crisp pizza, and plenty of surprises. The magic is the community that comes together around it all. You’ll find me at the peptide shot bar, and if a cold plunge makes an appearance, I’ll be there too. October 1. Malibu. Let’s go!

Lizzy Vela reacted on thisLizzy Vela reacted on thisI’m heading to #BITENYC tomorrow! Beyond my personal ♥️ for all things beauty, the industry is close to home for me. My mom was a Paul Mitchell platform artist, so I grew up in the hair industry. I was often a model at shows and attended the Paul Mitchell Gatherings in Las Vegas. I also loved seeing Arey announce its Series A led by Unilever Ventures. I knew one of the founders well through the hair industry years ago, so it felt a little extra special. 🥂 to an exciting next chapter! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s new across emerging beauty and wellness brands, meeting the people behind them, and learning more about what they’re building. I’m also excited to share how the right people strategy can help bring their growth plans to life. A few brands on my must-see list: ✨ UNDEW Inc. | A clever, on-the-go fix for foundation smears and stains ✨ PAUME | Sanitizing, anti-aging, and deeply hydrating hand care ✨ Caire Beauty | Pro-Aging Skincare for Women 40+ | Skincare for mature skin (that’s most of us 😉) ✨ Sweet Bee Organics | Plant-based wellness products and a personal favorite of mine If you’ll be at BITE NYC, send me a message. Let’s scope it out together!

Lizzy Vela reacted on thisLizzy Vela reacted on thisBy nature I’m a heads-down, behind my laptop kind of founder- esp this time around, when time feels even more precious juggling building + being a mama. So I’m extra excited (and honored!) to join so many incredible CPG humans, & take the stage at Founderland. 💛 In awe of the team Josh Wand Sean Kelly bringing this community together. See you there!
