Caldera + Lab

Caldera + Lab is an Austin, Texas-based company that manufactures premium, science-backed skincare products specifically formulated for men. Initially launched in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the direct-to-consumer brand develops face serums, moisturizers, and cleansers using natural botanicals and proprietary ingredients designed to protect against dry, harsh climates. Targeting a core demographic of males aged 35 to 65, the company utilizes clinical trials to validate its formulations, with early studies indicating that 96 percent of participants reported healthier skin. To support its ongoing retail expansion and continued digital growth across the premium grooming sector, the enterprise secured $6 million in Series A funding led by HIPstr, the early-stage investment arm of HighPost Capital, which is directed by chairman and chief executive officer David Moross. Caldera + Lab was founded in 2017 by Jared Pobre and Stacy Keibler.
