About Us

We partner with visionary founders who are redefining how we live, consume, and thrive. We invest in brands that don’t just follow trends—they Create Trends.

We believe in:

Authentic, mission-driven brands that are truly better for you—rooted in quality, transparency, and integrity.

Sustainable solutions that prioritize both human health and environmental well-being.

Founders with grit, passion, and execution power—those who share our vision for a healthier, smarter future.

What Makes Us Different

There has never been a better time to build a brand—but scaling one is a different challenge.

At Craftix, we’re not just another fund or accelerator, we are intentionally structured as a hands-on, founder-first venture studio—not a passive capital provider. Too many investors prioritize scale over real impact, deploying capital without rolling up their sleeves to help founders navigate the hardest parts of growth. We operate differently.

We Work Side by Side with Founders, providing operational resources, expert mentorship, and milestone-driven funding—with more flexibility and less dilution.

We Move Fast. No endless 3-month partner meetings. Just real-time support where it matters most.

We Solve Real Bottlenecks—from product R&D and manufacturing to branding and fulfillment.

Hi! I’m Miranda, founder of Craftix. I’m a brand builder partnering with founders from idea to scale. I back bold, resilient entrepreneurs who are redefining how we consume, create, and live healthier lives in the consumer healthcare sector. While most accelerators, angel and VC investors write passive checks, I saw a counterintuitive opportunity: combining precise operational and infrastructure with genuine founder support in the physical products space.

Before founding Craftix, I pursued my MBA at Chicago Booth to explore entrepreneurship and deepen my understanding of investment. However, after two quarters, I realized that neither could be fully learned through a structured classroom approach—both require a real appetite for risk. After spending a year working on a failed startup idea in an accelerator and interning at a venture capital fund, I gained firsthand experience in both the challenges of building and the dynamics of investing. This led me to take a bold step from school—decelerating my MBA in my second year to build Craftix full-time, merging my passion for entrepreneurship and investment into my own venture studio.

Prior to Booth, I worked across multiple divisions of my family’s global enterprise with a focus in the U.S., specializing in consumer healthcare R&D, ingredients identification and finished-product manufacturing, overseeing production lines and scaling early-stage startups we invested in. Growing up around manufacturing, I saw firsthand the responsibility and precision it takes to bring a product to market. Now, I’m leveraging our upstream supply chain advantages to help founders build the next wave of category-defining consumer healthcare brands—with the right operation, infrastructure, guidance, and execution.

I love my work and surrounding myself with driven people. I also play lacrosse and am obsessed with HIIT workouts—four years strong at Barry’s. For us to be friends, you need to join me for a HIIT workout.
