A venture studio for health and wellness.

We build health and wellness brands for Southeast Asia, in-house: from the first formula, to retail stores, to the lifestyle that grows around them.

01 · The Thesis00 / 100

Health and wellness in Southeast Asia is underserved.

The products people want are imported, expensive, or missing. The fastest way to change that is a studio that builds them here and takes them all the way: formula, shelf, lifestyle.

Three reasons

Why a venture studio, and why here.

01

Underserved

Demand for better everyday health products is here. Most of what’s on offer was made for somewhere else, at prices to match.

02

End to end

We take a brand the whole way: the formula, the retail shelf, and the lifestyle that grows around it. One studio owns every step.

03

Repeatable

A studio does this more than once. One team and one platform launch brand after brand, and each launch makes the next one faster.

02 · The Studio

How a venture studio builds brands.

A venture studio owns what it builds. Rarus House originates brands, builds them on one shared team and platform, and takes each one from formula to retail stores to the lifestyle around it.

Two ways a brand starts hereHover to open
A · Originated

In-house

An idea the studio originates, staffs, and owns. We formulate, brand, launch, and run it.

B · Backed

With a founder

A founder we back and build alongside, with the studio’s team and platform, without taking over.

From formula to retail to lifestyle

Every brand here travels the same road.

One road · three rooms →
Room 01

Formula

Start with a real health need. Work back to a product people will use every day, then give it a name and a pack worth choosing.

Room 02

Retail stores

Onto the shelves people already shop, through retail and distribution partners across the region.

Room 03

Lifestyle experience

Beyond the shelf: content, community, and everyday moments that make the brand part of how people live.

What every brand gets.

One platform, shared across the house. A brand built here starts with more than capital.

03 · Brands

Built in the house, out in the world.

A few brands at a time, each built on the same platform and taken from formula to shelf to daily life. We announce a brand when it’s in customers’ hands.

05 · About

Making the healthier choice the easy one.

The story

In Southeast Asia, the healthier choice is usually the pricier one, or the harder one to find. We started Rarus House to change that.

A venture studio lets us do it more than once: one team, one platform, and a growing set of brands that make health and wellness the default, at prices made for this region.

The team

Two managing partners, one operating team.
