Why do prospects want to do business with the firm?
L Catterton believes it is often viewed as a “partner of choice” among management teams and a preferred partner among strategic co-investors and industry players. Given the competitive dynamics in the private equity space, the Firm has observed that founders and CEOs of prospective portfolio companies are increasingly seeking investors who offer more than just capital. The Firm’s first interactions with management teams are rarely just about a potential transaction. Typically, initial conversations with a founder or C-level executive focus on the dynamics within the category in which the business operates. L Catterton shares data from its proprietary research and insights from its extensive experiences to help management teams understand the value the Firm will contribute to supplement what they already have in the organization. L Catterton believes its detailed category work and consumer research are key differentiators, and that having the ability to bring case studies and relevant value-creation examples to bear has been powerful in the Firm’s ability to source proprietary investment opportunities. Further, L Catterton believes its sector-specific experience has helped cultivate a well-developed global network, through which the Firm is sought out as a “partner of choice” to help growing consumer businesses realize their growth potential.
