Investment Criteria We partner with specialty food entrepreneurs to help grow their niche businesses into niche leaders. We typically work with companies that have $1-$10+ million in annual revenue and expect that management will continue to lead the business after our investment. We do not consider turnaround situations or traditional early stage financings of start-ups. In addition to these parameters, we look for the following characteristics in our portfolio companies:
One of our most important criteria is that we partner with entrepreneurs who are also looking for a liquidity event. This event may come in many forms — a management buyback, an investment from another financial institution or a strategic sale — but we target an exit from our investment in 3-5 years. As a result, we seek entrepreneurs whose vision for their company fits that timeframe.
