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. 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 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.
