About

Seed Health is a Los Angeles-based microbial sciences company founded in 2018 by Ara Katz and Raja Dhir. The company is best known for its DS-01 Daily Synbiotic, a two-in-one probiotic and prebiotic capsule developed in partnership with academic researchers. Seed has raised approximately $44 million in total funding, with a Series A led by The Craftory, and has achieved profitability.\n\nThe company reported approximately $56 million in revenue with 500%+ growth over three years, ranking among Amazon's top-five probiotic supplements and selling in Target stores nationwide. Seed differentiates itself by emphasizing clinical research transparency — each strain is backed by published studies, and the brand has become a go-to reference among health-conscious consumers and clinicians.\n\nBeyond consumer products, Seed operates a scientific research arm called SeedLabs that conducts microbiome research in areas including planetary health and pediatric immunity. In 2024, the company announced an AI-powered initiative to accelerate strain discovery. This dual consumer-science identity gives Seed unusual credibility in a supplement category often criticized for weak evidence.

About

Topicals is a Los Angeles-based skincare brand founded in 2020 by Olamide Olowe and Claudia Teng. The company focuses on clinically formulated products for skin conditions including hyperpigmentation, eczema, and uneven texture, with an explicit emphasis on inclusive representation for consumers with deeper skin tones who are often underserved by mainstream beauty brands.\n\nTopicals has raised $25 million in total funding across four rounds, including a Series A led by CAVU Consumer Partners with strategic investment from Jay-Z's Marcy Venture Partners and Kelly Rowland. The brand is available at Sephora, Ulta Beauty, and directly through its website, expanding its omnichannel footprint since initial DTC-only launch.\n\nThe brand's marketing is deliberately rooted in mental health, body positivity, and destigmatizing chronic skin conditions — themes resonating strongly with Gen Z consumers. Topicals has become one of the fastest-growing indie skincare brands in the US, earning recognition on Fast Company's Brands That Matter list in 2025 and building a loyal community through social-first campaigns and clinical transparency about active ingredients.
