OLIPOP
David Lester, Co-Founder

Alex and the team have been great investors for OLIPOP. They showed conviction early and believed in us as founders. The Melitas team are professional investors with helpful resources and thoughtful contributions. They operate from a place of integrity and we have been extremely grateful to have them as partners on this amazing journey.

There’s a short list of top-tier food and beverage capital partners for emerging brands; Melitas Ventures has positioned themselves at the top of that list, giving the Fund extraordinary access to early-stage deal flow.

Emily Groden
Evergreen Founder & CEO

Melitas' investment changed the trajectory of Evergreen forever. Since day 1, Alex, Jacques, and team have showed up for us in a big way: as subject matter experts helping us navigate the complicated world of grocery retail; as superconnectors networking us with other investors, founders, and operators within the CPG industry; and last but definitely not least, as teammates who I trust not only to celebrate the wins but also tackle the challenges with me. I can say confidently that we would not be where we are today without their belief in what we're building. Thank you, Melitas!

Ian Blair & Rob Cardiff
Laundry Sauce Co-Founders

Working with Melitas has been great. They’ve been consistent from the start—supportive, direct, and fully in our corner. They haven’t just checked in, they’ve plugged us into a network of operators, founders, and investors who’ve helped us move faster. They’ve also been the kind of partners who’ll jump into the hard problems with us, not just the fun moments. It’s been a solid partnership and a real advantage for what we’re building.
