OddFellows still reads as the quirky Williamsburg scoop shop behind pretzel and miso ice cream. It's actually a multi-state franchise brand now, with shops from Tampa to Seoul and outside investors along for the ride. Founders Mohan Kumar and Sam Mason still run it.
The Big Picture
OddFellows is still run by the founders who started it in 2011, and it now sells franchise territories nationwide. The mixed part is the shop floor and what it won't say: workers rate it 3.1 out of 5 on Glassdoor, and it publishes almost nothing about suppliers or environmental impact. It answers to its founders and, increasingly, its franchisees.
The Dirty Details
Ownership
Feenix Venture PartnersPrivate Equity
Feenix Venture Partners is a New York investment firm founded in 2017 that provides growth capital to small and mid-sized consumer businesses through both debt and equity; its wider portfolio includes The Slanted Door and Capital Tacos. Its three Ferret companies show the range of what that can mean: already the majority owner of Jack's Stir Brew by the time it led that chain's 2022 merger, a lender to Bareburger whose 2018 loan never converted, and an investor in OddFellows on undisclosed terms. The label on the check matters less than whether control ever changes hands.
