Managing Partner
As founder of the LMS Agency, Denise Lambertson pioneered the pairing of celebrities with venture-backed consumer startups by implementing sweat equity compensation for marketing services and capital investment. Applauded by Forbes as "changing the influencer marketing platform between celebrities and startups", LMS is the premier agency for celebrity partnerships, influencer marketing & social media strategy for consumer startups.
The combination of unique deal access coupled with industry expertise allowed the agency to facilitate dozens of monumental partnerships. LMS has helped build some of the most successful companies in the CPG industry including Core Water, Thrive Market, Kite Hill, RX Bar, Rao's Homemade, and Daily Harvest, among others. To date, the agency has been affiliated with 20+ successful startups that have been acquired in the last 10 years.
In 2018, Denise founded Constellation Capital - a natural evolution from the services agency. With a deep understanding of consumer behavior, and an ability to “test” pipeline companies with services like influencer marketing, Constellation Capital provides a differentiated venture deployment model that effectively de-risks investment decisions. Combined with the fund's high-profile LP base, Constellation Capital has unparalleled leverage for access, preferential terms, and impact.
