Meet the Founder- Jane Lauder

TAW Ventures was inspired by my Goldendoodle, Thaddeus Alistair Warsh (TAW), whose health journey changed the way I think about pet care.

When Thaddeus experienced a series of unexplained health challenges in 2024, I saw firsthand how important trustworthy, science-backed products and research are for the pets we love. That experience ultimately led me to create TAW Ventures.

After nearly 30 years at The Estée Lauder Companies, I founded TAW with a simple belief: pets deserve the same standards of quality, safety, and innovation that we expect for ourselves. Today, we invest in founders and brands helping pets live longer, healthier, happier lives.

My Approach

My goal is simple:

  • To help Thaddeus - and all pets - live their longest, happiest, and healthiest lives by supporting and creating exceptional products that you can trust.

  • To advance pet wellness and longevity by allocating our resources to support vital research initiatives.
