About Nick Brown

Nick Brown co-built Imaginary Ventures to invest across the full consumer wallet—food, beauty, fashion and retail enablement—rather than focusing on a single category, reflecting his belief in backing the brands people will find in their fridge, on their feet, and on their skin in 10 years. He brings an unusually broad pattern-recognition base from leading early investments in defining modern retail brands like Goop, Outdoor Voices, Glossier, Reformation, Warby Parker, and Daily Harvest at 14W, and has continued this track record at Imaginary with category-defining investments like SKIMS and Universal Standard.

Imaginary Ventures is co-founded by Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet and veteran consumer VC Nick Brown, organizing investments around the "customer wallet" and consumer journey rather than traditional category silos, with a portfolio deliberately over-indexed to culture-defining digitally native brands like Glossier, Skims, and Reformation. The fund explicitly structures investments to back underrepresented founders (with ~50% of Fund I founded by women) and focuses on circularity, sustainable consumption, and Web3 as the next frontier for consumer brands, positioning itself as one of the few consumer VCs operationalizing how brands will manifest in virtual and hybrid retail.
