A-Frame Venture Studio (AFVS) is a multidisciplinary team building triple-bottom-line brands designed to create sustainable growth and drive meaningful returns. The studio operates through a blended private equity model, focusing on health, well-being, and human connection through humanity-centered design principles. AFVS believes in the extraordinary power of human connection and the fundamental role of health in shaping the future, with a holistic approach encompassing physical, emotional, mental, and community aspects. The studio is not a traditional venture capital firm but rather a collective of founders, creatives, operators, and builders driven by shared vision and core values. They spot worthy ventures, identify gaps, and align goals to a triple-bottom-line framework (people, planet, profit). AFVS operates an Idea Lab where they explore, prototype, and co-build early-stage concepts that align with their mission. They offer comprehensive studio services including mentorship, coaching, and co-creation from brand development to go-to-market strategy. The studio emphasizes that they design with, not just for, starting every venture by listening to people, place, and need. They have BCorp and sustainability experts guiding their practices from day one and create using human-centered design principles with a theory of change framework.
