Rachel Zoe Ventures

Rachel Zoe Ventures (RZV) is an early-stage venture capital firm co-founded in 2020 and headquartered in West Hollywood, California. Led by fashion entrepreneur Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman, it operates two vehicles: its original fund and the more recent Access Fund. Beyond capital, RZV takes a hands-on approach, amplifying portfolio companies through unrivaled access to its network across media, social, e-commerce, fashion, and finance — advising on brand strategy, go-to-market planning, and connecting founders with in-demand experts. The firm focuses on disruptive consumer brands and technology platforms in subscription, membership, and creator-economy spaces, spanning fashion, lifestyle, and beauty. Notable investments include Angel City FC, Havenly, Citizen, Joy, Cleancult, and Bread Beauty Supply. RZV typically leads early-stage rounds, with checks ranging from $100,000 to $5 million and a sweet spot around $1.5 million. Its criteria favor brands with a clear growth story aligned with the founders' fashion and media expertise.
