I look for businesses with cult-like followers, great unit economics, capital efficiency, nimbleness, and resilience. Most importantly, I look for backable founders. Square Baby ticks every one of those boxes. Katie and Kendall combine a deep understanding of childhood nutrition with the empathy of a mom. They know how to connect with their consumer. The unit economics allow a significant portion of revenue to be reinvested into growth and the short cash conversion cycle support capital efficiency. I see this as a brand with high growth potential and a limited need for continued fundraising, which means less dilution for me as an early investor.
