Seurat Capital
Operational investing expertise in CPG
About Us
We use our uniquely powerful combination of consumer packaged goods operating, consulting and investing experience to help challenger brands accelerate their growth.
Challenger Brands
Over the last decade, there has been a tremendous value shift from large, established CPG manufacturers to smaller, emerging brands.
These “challenger” brands are winning not only share of wallet, but also hearts and minds as they respond more quickly to shifting consumer trends and deliver more effectively on shopper needs through disruptive innovation and packaging, alternative distribution channels and breakthrough communication.
Understanding the challenger brand “playbook” enables us to identify attractive investment opportunities and ignite growth in our portfolio companies.
Growth Approach
Our team’s experience as entrepreneurs, strategy consultants and business operators allows for a unique approach to developing go-to-market strategies and overall demand generation.
We support challenger brands throughout their life cycle, providing resources and drawing on our proprietary 7 Challenger Brand Growth Principles to accelerate value creation.
Portfolio Companies
Simply put, we invest in brands that challenge convention.
