Our Story
Red Flyer, headquartered in Atlanta, was founded in 2021 as the investment company for the family of Terry S. Brown, a co-founder of Asana Partners. Red Flyer is owned, led and managed by second and third generation Brown family members.
We partner with early stage consumer products and lifestyle brands that are distinctive in the marketplace and match our own interests.
Our extended family has been immersed in retail real estate for decades, giving us a profound understanding of market trends and consumer behaviors as well as deep, long-lasting relationships with people and companies across the consumer ecosystem. At Red Flyer, we leverage our extensive network for collaboration and support to create value for our portfolio companies.
