Angel investors on the list include Alex Bouaziz, the founder and CEO of the multi-billion dollar YC scale-up Deel.com, based in Silicon Valley; Stefan Lindeberg, the founder of the venture capital firm Creandum; En Ming Ong, the founder of Rocket Eyewear; Zenos Schmickrath, co-founder of Hmlet; the founders of Lassie, a Series B pet insurtech company; Thomas Ekman, the former CEO of Axel Johnson Public, Dustin, and Tele2; Indra Sharma, a partner at Peak Capital; Janina Aarts, the former CEO of H&M Beauty; Parham Benisi, a partner at Pophouse; and Philippe Klintefelt Collet, the former Partner at Global Founders Capital, the Chief Strategy & Financial Officer at AI scale-up Aibidia.

In addition to launching, owning, and running cutting-edge business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) brands, Wild Ventures makes strategic investments in outside brands that align with its overarching goals.

The company, which was founded by a group of skilled brand builders and is backed by a number of elite investors and founders from the US, Europe, and Asia, intends to swiftly grow and create a next-generation house of brands.
