OUR PLAYBOOK
Nurturing Future Category Leaders
how we work
Delarki Brands’ approach is tailor-made for the current investment climate, supplanting the PE model by not only providing growth capital, but also bringing in deep strategic and operational expertise to transform small brands into category leaders that could exit directly to the global majors.
The pause in M&A activity creates an opportunity for Delarki Brands to curate a deal pipeline in preparation for the next big wave of M&A activity in the industry. DB’s current focus is on elevating dry Mastiha into a mainstream category and building a pipeline of investments in brown spirits, as these are expected to dominate the next M&A cycle.
What makes us different?
Our portfolio represents diversified exposure to F&B private equity, with returns proportionate to risk.
We have ‘skin in the game’ in all investments, not a 2 and 20 fee structure.
We are operationally embedded in every business, managing everything from legal and corporate finance to branding, marketing and sales.
Each company is developed to achieve a base case exit valuation of 15x gross sales.
