Charis Consumer Partners

About The Fund

Charis Consumer Partners, operating as Charis Consumer Collaborative, is a specialized holding company that focuses on investing in the consumer sector with specific attention to manufacturing businesses. Emphasizing their approach as a collaborative holding company rather than traditional private equity, they target family or founder-owned companies in the Supply Chain Native space, offering a unique value proposition that combines committed capital and a collaborative platform for growth and value creation. Their investments center around niche consumer product companies, including contract manufacturers, branded manufacturers, ingredient/component manufacturers, packaging manufacturers, and providers of critical services to manufacturing. They seek out businesses rooted in exceptional products and people, looking to build category-leading manufacturers through a collaborative flywheel approach, ensuring small wins accumulate into significant advantages over time. Unlike conventional private equity firms, Charis Consumer Collaborative shares management systems, insights, talent, financial resources, and networks across several similar but non-competitive platforms. Partnerships with dedicated operating veterans, a network, and advisors are instrumental in their strategy, ensuring the success of their management teams and companies. With offices in Denver and Portland, Charis Consumer Collaborative positions itself as a partner for enduring growth and success, creating enriching consumer products, building robust teams, and compounding capital for the businesses within its portfolio. The firm's website details their investment criteria, structures, portfolio companies, and insights into their market perspective, demonstrating their commitment to the long-term development of Supply Chain Native consumer goods businesses.
