Today we have a very special guest Dan Fishman, the GP at Regeneration VC which is a VC firm focused on investing in regenerative startups fueling a circular economy. It is a $45 Million fund backed by famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
Before starting the fund Dan launched and operated numerous companies in entertainment, apparel, and consumer products. He is a leading investor in early-stage environmentally-conscious consumer businesses.
In 2002, he co-founded Bulldog Entertainment Group, organizing brand deals for celebrities such as Quincy Jones, Shaquille O’Neal, Jennifer Hudson, and Prince before selling to Warner Music Group in 2006. He then pivoted to contemporary fashion, launching House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate in partnership with Nicole Richie, A.L.C. with Andrea Lieberman (sold to Interluxe), and L’Agence.
In 2011, Dan switched focus to the food industry, becoming the first investor and President of Coolhaus, a premium ice cream brand now sold in over 8,000 locations. He observed and responded to the growing plant-based movement, creating Coolhaus’ vegan line which launched nationwide at Whole Foods in 2018. His recent focus is investing and advising startup brands with an environmental impact, including Tare Grocery, For Days, Reel Paper, Saie Cosmetics, Nara Organics, and Goodmylk.
