Jennifer Laue co-founded Stray Dog Capital as a family office in 2013 after she and her husband concluded that feeding 10 billion people with the current animal-based food system was not feasible, leading them to fund alternatives to industrial animal agriculture. She leads an integrated platform that combines venture investing through Stray Dog Capital with philanthropy through Stray Dog Institute and policy advocacy, while maintaining board positions across organizations from Humane Society International to local animal welfare groups, reflecting her personal commitment to veganism and food systems transformation.

Notable Investments
Stray Dog Capital is a mission-driven venture fund explicitly structured to eliminate animals from the food supply chain, founded and backed by long-time animal advocates rather than traditional financial circles, with CEO Lisa Feria bringing an operations-heavy background from running large CPG businesses at Procter & Gamble and General Mills. The fund operates from Leawood, Kansas, and has become a de facto "first-check" signaling investor for mission-aligned founders in alternative protein, concentrating its portfolio on full-stack infrastructure like ingredients and fermentation platforms rather than just consumer brands, while openly optimizing for impact on animal numbers as a primary screening lens.
