    Palette invests at the intersection of consumer value shifts, technology, and impact at Seed. Call us contrarian, but we believe in the $29 trillion consumer economy. We're doubling down on the discerning consumer—across Human Flourishing, Thoughtful Consumption, Future Families, Innovative Technologies and the Commerce Stack. We look for original, impactful ideas, a tech moat, and a focus on rapid yet capital-efficient scaling. As founders, we've been there and know the power of human capital on the cap table.
