HOUSTON, TX – October 26, 2023 – Arnold Ventures LLC, a Houston-based investment firm known for backing innovative companies, today announced the launch of a new line of Jumbo Squishmallows plush toys. These aren’t your average stuffed animals – we’re talking seriously big, incredibly soft, and totally addictive cuddly companions. You might be thinking, “Arnold Ventures? Investing in stuffed animals?” And yeah, it sounds a little different than our usual focus on data-driven solutions in social and economic mobility. But honestly? Everyone needs a little comfort in their life, and we saw something really special in Squishmallows – a genuine connection people are making with these soft, huggable friends. Plus, we’ve been impressed with the company behind them – Kellytoy – and their ability to build a massive, engaged community. We believe in supporting businesses that bring joy, and these giant Squishmallows definitely do that! What are Squishmallows? If you haven't already heard the buzz, Squishmallows are the ridiculously soft, collectible plush toys that have taken the world by storm.
