Lakehouse Ventures

Lakehouse Ventures is a New York venture capital firm that supports companies during their earliest days of business formation and launch. It writes first checks at pre-seed and follows into seed, Series A and later, and directory taxonomies record its mandate as spanning consumer, fintech, digital health, aerospace and defense and adjacent categories. John Neamonitis is its founder and general partner.

The firm's own description is narrower and more useful: a pre-seed fund investing in exceptional consumer experiences, from beloved products and brands to software and services. It makes only a handful of investments a year, a deliberate constraint for a team of three operating out of Brooklyn.

The portfolio runs to roughly 39 companies and reads as a consumer thesis executed consistently rather than opportunistically. It includes Bobbie, Billie, Smalls, Kosterina, HopWtr, Mixlab, Rhino, EdSights, Courted, Guaranteed, Keeper, Two Front and M7 Health, a mix of consumer packaged goods, direct-to-consumer brands, consumer health and the software layers underneath them.
