A cosmetics company in a VC portfolio? Yes.

Venture capital is full of unexpected calls — if you stay open to them.

At Level2 we like exploring sectors most funds quietly skip. That is how Yokaba ended up in our portfolio: a Polish vegan cosmetics company running two businesses at once. A direct-to-consumer brand built on plant-based, cruelty-free formulas, and a professional arm supplying salons with nail, pedicure and podology systems.

So why back a cosmetics company? The founder, Kamil Niemczyk. Kamil learns at a speed that barely seems reasonable, and he keeps shipping genuinely new products in a category where most brands relabel last year’s formula and call it a launch.

This could be you. If your idea doesn’t fit the usual VC checklist but you think it might catch our eye, send us your pitch today.
