MVP
Momentum Venture Partners

The embedded brand and finance team for founder-led consumer food brands.

We help pre-seed and seed CPG/F&B founders turn product love into repeatable growth: content, retail, e-commerce, foodservice, unit economics, and fundraising. Our compensation is tied to your outcomes.

Built for
Pre-seed and seed CPG/F&B founders

You have a product people love. The next problem is turning that into consistent demand, sell-through, and a financial story that holds up under investor scrutiny. That's the exact work we do. Brand and finance together, not handed off to separate vendors. And our compensation is tied to your outcomes, not our hours.

What we do
Embedded Brand
& Finance Partner
01
Brand & Content Strategy
We build the content systems that create real demand, not just followers. The content is founder-led, designed to compound over time, and built to convert across DTC and retail.
  • Founder-led content strategy and social growth playbooks
  • Scripting, creative direction, and channel-specific frameworks
  • D2C content that drives acquisition and retention
  • Brand voice, positioning, and messaging
Embedded Long-Term Partner
02
Financial Advisory & Fundraising
We build the financial model and pitch story that give investors what they're actually looking for. Unit economics first, narrative second. Because a good story on top of bad numbers doesn't close rounds.
  • Unit economics and pricing architecture
  • Investor-ready financial models and FP&A
  • Cap table strategy and round structuring
  • Pitch narrative and investor materials
Embedded Long-Term Partner
03
Channel & Distribution Strategy
We help you figure out where to sell, in what order, and how to get there across retail, e-commerce, and foodservice, without spreading thin before you're ready.
  • Retail, e-commerce, and foodservice channel strategy
  • Buyer narrative and sell-in materials
  • D2C to wholesale expansion planning
  • Distributor relationships and buyer introduction prep
Embedded Long-Term Partner
04
Strategic Introductions
We help founders get ready for the right conversations first, then make targeted introductions where there's a genuine fit. We don't send a list of names and call it done.
  • Consumer-focused angels, VCs, and strategic investors
  • Operator founders who've scaled CPG brands
  • Retail buyers and distribution partners
  • Introduction prep and relationship context

The output
What we actually build

The easiest way to understand what MVP does is to look at what we actually build.

01
Content System
A repeatable, founder-led content engine built for your brand voice: scripted, structured, and ready to publish across channels.
02
Retail / Buyer Narrative
The sell-in story and supporting materials that get you in front of buyers and onto shelves, tailored to your channel and stage.
03
Financial Model
A bottom-up financial model built for your business: revenue, COGS, margin, burn, and the assumptions investors will push back on.
04
Unit Economics & Pricing Architecture
CAC, LTV, contribution margin, and channel-level profitability, modeled clearly so you can make pricing and channel decisions with confidence.
05
Fundraising Narrative
The story your pitch needs to tell: market sizing, traction framing, competitive positioning, and the "why now, why us" that closes rooms.
06
Investor & Strategic Partner Materials
Deck, one-pager, data room prep, and intro memos, built to the standard of what investors at the consumer/CPG stage actually expect.
How it works
How we work
01
Discovery

We look at your brand, your market position, your content gaps, and where you stand financially. If there's a fit, we scope something specific to your situation. There's no generic onboarding.

02
Build

We work inside your team to build the content systems, financial models, and fundraise materials your brand needs. Nothing is off-the-shelf. Every deliverable is built for your stage and your market.

03
Stay

Engagements run 6 to 12 months and renew based on results, not inertia. Our compensation is structured around your outcomes. When you win, we win. We don't get paid to run out the clock.

Who we are
Two operators.
One table.

MVP was started by two operators who've spent their careers building at the intersection of consumer brands, content, and capital. We keep the portfolio small because we stay genuinely involved with every founder we work with. That's not a marketing line. It's a constraint we impose on ourselves to make sure founders actually get our time.

Josh Lee
Co-Founder, Finance & Capital

Josh is a co-founder and operator at Birdie, recently rebranded as ORCHA, with direct experience in consumer portfolio work, fundraising, financial modeling, and unit economics. He's actively building in the CPG space alongside the advisory work.

Before that, he worked in investment banking and private equity, advising on $1B+ of transaction execution with direct exposure to major consumer brands including Burger King and Lock&Lock. He knows what investors look for because he was on the other side of those conversations.

Our network
Who you know
still matters.

We've spent years building real relationships with consumer investors, operators, and brand builders. Those connections don't show up on a pitch deck, but they're often what gets a deal done. When you work with MVP, you get access to that network, with the context and credibility to back up the introduction.
