In April 2025, Ocampo Capital successfully closed its first fund, Ocampo Capital Fund I LP, focusing on early-stage consumer brands and innovative companies shaping the future of commerce. The fund has made seven investments to date, including Cohere Commerce, Persephone Biosciences, Semaine Health, Small Wonder, Zeya, Future Fans, and Edulis Labs. The firm anticipates deploying capital into a total of 12-14 high-potential consumer businesses over its lifetime, emphasizing a concentrated investment strategy to maximize impact and value creation for its portfolio companies.
