Stardust Ventures

Stardust was formed to connect the best early stage startups with leading celebrities and to then help fund their growth. In the consumer space, entrepreneurs often have fantastic products but their growth rate is limited by their ability to obtain credibility and visibility. The right celebrity endorsement can turbo charge growth which will then attract more investors and support the next capital raise in a virtuous cycle. Driven by a team with over 30 years of experience in the celebrity endorsement space, Stardust matches you with a celebrity that fits your audience and has a demonstrable impact over them. We typically look for companies that fit a specific description, though we do make exceptions. ‍ 1. Early stage. We typically look for deals where the valuation is below $50M. 2. Demonstrated market fit and traction. We ask for 3 to 6 months of market data and metrics. 3. Great product or service that can benefit from a celebrity's involvement. 4. At least 12 months of runway. We don't want you to run out of money when it’s time to capitalize on the celebrity involvement. 5. Consumer product or consumer enablement focus. 6. Strong team. ‍ We want to meet you even if its early!
