Restaurants, brands, and film — each chapter financed by the last, each one built alongside operators who do the work themselves.
Sean Krajewski grew up in Los Angeles, California, hustling in the restaurant business. What began as a pizza delivery job became a founding partner role in the national fast casual chain Mendocino Farms.
Krajewski spent 12 years launching the brand and growing it to over 15 locations, receiving investment from LVMH and Whole Foods, and facilitating an eventual sale to TPG.
After the Mendocino Farms exit, Sean launched a venture fund investing in companies across music, beauty and hospitality. These investments include partners that range from Justin Bieber and Vanessa Hudgens, to ex-Laker Rick Fox.
The brands range from a PTSD solution in conjunction with Bieber's Peaches album, a health focused hotel in Joshua Tree called RESET, and the cactus water beverage Caliwater.
Most recently, Krajewski launched a film fund, deploying over $75m in capital across 50+ films.
The most notable films being the box office hit Longlegs starring Nicolas Cage, the dramatic hit Goodrich starring Michael Keaton, and the Warner Bros. animated Looney Tunes film Coyote vs. Acme.
