Goods Ventures is a small private investment strategy primarily focused on early-stage companies within the food, beverage, and consumer goods ecosystem. GV does not solicit, accept, or manage outside capital.

GV was founded by Kevin Lehmann — a leading financial and consumer industry analyst, M&A advisor, and founder of Goods Partners. Kevin was previously a Director at global investment bank Evercore and member of Wall Street’s top-ranked analyst team to cover both the CPG and restaurant sectors (Institutional Investor). He was Wall Street’s leading consumer data expert (e.g. Nielsen/IRI/SPINS/Numerator/NPD) and Thomson Reuters once named his team the #1 Stock Pickers in the Food sector. He began his consumer career with GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare and consumer research giant Nielsen.

Kevin is a committee and former board member of SRNY — owner of the historic Fraunces Tavern® in NYC. He also spent over 10 years in EMS and rescue, with his last stint treating trauma and medical patients at MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and New York Jets.
