Sydney Sweeney<\/a> is preparing to debut a lingerie brand reportedly backed by Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN<\/a>) founder investor Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren S\u00e1nchez. The Emmy-nominated actress, best known for her roles in HBO’s \u201cEuphoria\u201d and \u201cThe White Lotus,\u201d has spent the last year building what insiders describe as a personal passion project, Fox Business<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

The brand is reportedly backed by Ben Schwerin, a partner at Coatue Management and former Snap (NYSE:SNAP<\/a>) executive. According to The Economic Times<\/a>, Schwerin’s involvement marks a notable moment, as Coatue has traditionally focused on high-growth tech and rarely invests in consumer-facing brands. The Economic Times reports that Schwerin may have been hired to use his celebrity relationships to bring in star-driven brands like Sweeney’s.<\/p>\n

Coatue Management recently launched a new innovation fund with $1 billion in seed capital committed by the family offices of Bezos<\/a> and Michael Dell, The Wall Street Journal<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

The fund will allocate between 20% and 50% of its assets to private companies, with the rest targeting public stocks, based on a pitch deck seen by the outlet. “It’s such an obvious idea that if I don’t do it, someone else will,” Philippe Laffont, Coatue’s founder, told the Journal in an interview.<\/p>\n

Though neither Bezos nor Dell directly invested in Sweeney’s company, The Economic Times says their capital underpins the same Coatue vehicle now backing her venture.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1999, Coatue is known for major investments in high-profile startups like OpenAI, SpaceX, and xAI, managing $54 billion in assets as of December, according to the Journal. Of the assets Coatue managed as of December, approximately $22.3 billion was allocated to public equities while $22.9 billion was designated for early-stage and growth venture investments.<\/p>\n

The Journal says the new fund tied to Bezos and Dell is expected to become a high-margin revenue stream for Coatue, with an annual management fee of 1.25% and a 12.5% performance fee on profits that exceed 5% annually, based on the firm’s pitch deck reviewed by the outlet.<\/p>\n

Story Continues <\/p>\n

The firm’s new fund lowers the investment threshold to $50,000 and is launching with Swiss banking giant UBS to attract high-net-worth individuals who want exposure to private tech and consumer innovations, the Journal reports. The move reflects a growing appetite to blend Silicon Valley capital strategies with cultural and influencer-driven brands.<\/p>\n

During her rise to fame, Sweeney has formed partnerships with major global brands like K\u00e9rastase, Bai, HeyDude, and Laneige, according to Fox Business. She recently garnered headlines for a campaign with Dr. Squatch, promoting a novelty body soap reportedly infused with her bathwater, further showcasing her influence as a digital-era marketer.<\/p>\n

Her presence at Bezos and S\u00e1nchez’s June wedding in Venice, initially seen as unusual, now aligns with reports linking her new venture to Bezos-backed funds, Fox Business says. Posts on Sweeney’s social media in lingerie and swimwear with model Am\u00e9lie Tremblay are now being interpreted as pre-launch teasers, suggesting a savvy, staged rollout of her product line, according to The Economic Times.<\/p>\n

While Coatue has not confirmed the precise amount invested in Sweeney’s company, its reported pivot toward culture-forward assets is attracting attention across both the retail and venture ecosystems.<\/p>\n
