Chef MAUBS is a culinary entrepreneur, hospitality founder, and food tech builder — the driving force behind VK Capital Ventures Inc., a boutique hospitality agency and agricultural supply chain platform headquartered in Houston, TX. Born in Germany to an army family and raised in Houston, Texas, Chef MAUBS grew up with one foot in Texas and one in Louisiana — two family lines, two distinct food cultures, and a table always rich with Southern tradition. Extended time in Louisiana deepened his connection to diaspora cooking. His father was a devoted foodie who introduced him to fine dining from the time he was a toddler. By twelve, he was ordering escargot. After years in tech, the kitchen called him back permanently. VK Capital Ventures Inc. is the parent company behind five distinct brands: SIX ROWS CAFÉ — Houston's farm-to-table meal prep café: restaurant-quality weekly meals, curated beverages, mobile café service, and a brick-and-mortar opening late 2026.

(travelvillakitchen.com) VILLA KITCHEN COMMUNITY — A chef co-op and cultural network connecting intentional chefs with local gardeners, diaspora culinary traditions, and global travel and work opportunities. (travelvillakitchen.org) FARM2CHEF + AGRIPAY — A direct farm-to-chef sourcing platform and fair-pay infrastructure for Houston. Chefs use AI recipe parsing to send ingredient requests directly to vetted local farms — no distributors, no markups. AgriPay Credits let the community buy seasonal harvests, volunteer at urban farms, and ensure growers receive fair, timely payment on their own terms.
