About James Hicks

James Hicks started as an investment banker who managed more than 30 IPOs before shifting into building startups himself, eventually running Science's studio for about 12 years to help launch companies like Urban Remedy, FameBit, Liquid Death, and Mindset Care, while also serving as CEO of Quarterly Co. He's now Co-Founder and General Manager of Final Boss Sour, where he focuses on building brands through viral, social-first attention before approaching retailers, having waited until the brand hit 1 billion video views before pursuing retail deals.

Rounds
Avg Check Size

Science is a venture studio and fund that builds companies from scratch, often partnering with founders before the first investment and staying involved through exit, with most of its fund going to businesses it helped create using its own offshore product-development team and marketing strength in areas like TikTok and influencer-driven launches. Its investing approach looks for consumer dissatisfaction that isn't obvious in surveys, focuses on founder retention as the key sign of success, and includes experimenting with newer fund structures like tokenized blockchain funds and SPACs.
