VIVERE

What VIVERE does

VIVERE GmbH is a Hamburg, Germany-based vertically integrated FMCG manufacturer and consumer goods incubation company founded in 2013. It operates a portfolio of more than 12 owned sub-brands and approximately 300 products across six categories: Beauty (Prowess, Lincoln, Portion, Neatly), Wellness & Health (Aeon Labs, Gonaturals), Baby, Pet Care (Belly), and Garden & Home (Cura Lignum, Repell Shield, Garten Glück), with an additional Lifestyle brand (Axletic) for athlete-oriented products. The company is positioned as 'data-driven' and 'AI-powered' and manages the full lifecycle in-house: product ideation, scientific R&D, formulation, sustainable packaging, certified manufacturing, e-commerce, distribution, and after-sales service.

The underlying platform combines scientific research, data-driven product development, AI-assisted innovation, integrated German manufacturing, and consumer e-commerce. VIVERE offers B2B services in three forms: white-label products (pre-developed, market-tested formulas with 6-8 week turnaround), private-label products (bespoke formulations and packaging with 3-9 month turnaround), and wholesale of market-proven bestseller SKUs. Customers include established brands expanding their portfolios, influencers launching branded lines, and companies seeking innovation support. The company holds PETA-certified cruelty-free status for its cosmetic, pet care, home & garden, and wellness formulations.

Go-to-market is enterprise B2B sales executed through direct consultation and website inquiry forms, with LinkedIn as the primary social channel and the company website as the main lead-generation surface. Distribution is global in scope, delivered through direct enterprise sales, inside-sales via the website, and brand-distribution partnerships where manufactured products are sold through clients' own retail and e-commerce channels. Pricing is quote-based and varies by product type and customization level; minimum order quantities vary by SKU.

• Coty Inc. Global beauty manufacturer with portfolio of owned and licensed brands across fragrance, color cosmetics, and skincare. Comparable to VIVERE's beauty category focus and manufacturing capabilities, but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Oddity Tech: Tech-enabled multi-brand beauty and wellness platform (IL MAKIAGE, SpoiledChild) using data-driven product development. Comparable to VIVERE's data-driven, AI-powered, multi-brand incubation thesis, though Oddity operates at significantly larger public-company scale.
