Great Spirit Ventures (GSV) is an early-stage venture capital fund committed to enhancing the growth of exceptional companies in the branded consumer products, health care, and biotechnology industries. Launched in 2003, Great Spirit Ventures is the wholly-owned venture development capability of the A.M. Todd Group, a 135 year-old firm specializing in food flavors, ingredients, and specialty agriculture. A.M.

We believe that significant business opportunities reside at the intersection of food, agriculture, and medicine. The convergence of traditional and complementary/alternative medicine is transforming people's relationship with food and drugs. Increasingly, consumers are relying on natural products, organic food, and nutritional supplements for health and wellness management.
Great Spirit Venture is capitalizing on this market opportunity by investing in early-stage companies that are developing leading-edge technologies and brands that stress efficacy and safety in the following segments:
Functional Foods and Beverages
Plant-Based Personal Care Products
Natural Oral Care Products
Botanical Therapeutics (Nutraceuticals)
Alternative and Complementary Medicines
Global Sourcing of Bioactives and Premium Botanical Ingredients
