Grace Weingard shared this🎉 Can’t wait for this next chapter.Grace Weingard shared thisToday, Coterie officially joins Mammoth Brands! This moment means a lot to us. When Jeffrey Raider and I started Harry's 13 years ago, we had a simple goal to create a better shaving experience for guys everywhere. We’ve gotten a lot bigger since then, and so have our ambitions. We’re improving everyday experiences for more people, across more categories, and want to help other brands achieve the same kind of impact as Harry’s. What started as a “DTC razor startup” has grown into a portfolio of five brands, each beloved and meaningfully redefining their categories. One thing they all have in common is a shared mission to Create Things People Like More. From our earliest conversations with the Coterie team, it was clear that they’re driven by the same mission and values as we are. They're obsessed with making parents’ lives easier, and raising the bar on quality and performance. It’s no surprise that they’ve earned the trust of hundreds of thousands of families. They've reimagined what modern baby care looks like and we’re excited to continue driving that vision forward with them. This outtake from our shoot with Jess Frenchman Jacobs and Grace Weingard should give you an idea of how happy we are to be on this journey together.

Grace Weingard shared thisFive years ago, I took a leap of faith—pivoting from fashion apparel to join a small, seed-stage startup called Coterie, focused on revolutionizing the baby diapering space. Founder Frank Yu took a chance on me, and I took a chance on Coterie. It turned out to be one of the best and most transformative decisions of my career — an opportunity to: - Redefine the baby care category and truly “make parents’ lives easier” - Help build a company from the ground up to over $200M LTM and profitable - Work alongside some of the most brilliant, kind, and mission-driven people I’ve ever met. Today marks another exciting chapter in that journey: Coterie has signed a definitive agreement to join Mammoth Brands and their incredible portfolio of powerhouse brands. We’re thrilled to partner with Mammoth’s co-CEOs Andy Katz-Mayfield and Jeffrey Raider, along with their outstanding leadership team, as we amplify Coterie’s mission and accelerate our next phase of growth. I’m deeply grateful to Jess Frenchman Jacobs (my Coterie other half), our leadership team — Katherine Swift Todd Donner, Lindsey Kling, and Ankur Goyal — and to every single member of the Coterie team who helped bring this vision to life. A heartfelt thank you to Frank Yu and his founding vision and early leadership, our investors (Align Ventures, American Pacific Group, BELIADE), our counsel at Cooley (James Allen, David Young, David Silverman), our advisors at Raymond James (Vennette Ho Lee, Marko Horvat), our incredible supply chain partners, and of course, our loyal Coterie families who inspire everything we do. We’re just getting started — and the best is yet to come. 💙Grace Weingard shared thisWe are so excited to announce that Mammoth Brands has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Coterie, the modern baby care brand designed to make parents’ lives easier. Coterie has been on an incredible trajectory since they got started in 2019, and made a big impact on their industry, becoming the fastest growing premium diaper brand. They’ve helped redefine baby care and earned the trust and loyalty of hundreds of thousands of families as a result. Like us, they're driven by challenging the status quo, committed to product excellence and innovation, and obsessed with their customers. We couldn't imagine a better team to continue to pursue our mission — to Create Things People Like More —with. That’s why we’re so excited for the massive opportunity ahead. Over the years, Mammoth Brands has built a platform and a playbook to help brands grow from online-led disruptors to omnichannel category leaders. We did it with Harry's, then Flamingo, Lume Deodorant, and Mando. With Coterie, we’ll take that same playbook to baby care, offering them the infrastructure and capabilities to supercharge their growth, while preserving the brand DNA and product quality that has made them so beloved. This deal marks an important milestone for Mammoth Brands, diversifying our portfolio and solidifying our position as one of the largest CPG companies built in the last 20 years. We couldn’t be happier to have Coterie on that journey with us, and can’t wait to welcome their team, led by CEO Jess Frenchman Jacobs and President Grace Weingard, to Mammoth Brands.

Grace Weingard shared this👏👏👏Grace Weingard shared thisCoterie skincare has landed. After years of R&D, the highest formulation standards, rigorous safety testing, and designing the ins and outs of the experience, it’s here. A daily ritual for parents and babies that works to truly prevent skin issues, rather than just treat them. Engineering this magic alongside Grace Weingard and the entire Coterie team has been magical, thoughtful, hard, creative, earnest and boundary breaking. Exactly the way it should be.

Grace Weingard reacted on thisCongratulations to the Coterie team on their acquisition! I’ve had the fortune through my work at izba to work with the incredible team at Coterie, and with Grace Weingard and Paige Zachs in particular, over the last five years.

Grace Weingard reacted on thisGrace Weingard reacted on thisWhen you join a startup, you dream of an outcome like this. Yesterday, Coterie was acquired by Mammoth Brands. A little over four years ago, I jumped on the Coterie rocket ship and from day one, I knew we were building something special. It’s rare when all the pieces come together — a superior product, a powerful brand, and a world-class team and culture — yet that’s exactly what we have created. We built Coterie on a simple belief that parents deserve better and together have redefined what babycare can and should be. When I think about what it took to get here, it certainly wasn’t luck. It was a series of brave decisions, unwavering focus, and a team that refused to settle for anything less than exceptional. Frank Yu, thank you for your vision and for inviting me on this incredible ride. To Jess Frenchman Jacobs, Grace Weingard, Ankur Goyal and Katherine Swift Todd Donner you have been the most brilliant and inspiring partners, throughout past year and from the beginning. And my team, Amy Nichols, Brittany Deems, Morgan Uzunian, Rebecca Varney, Kyra Peckaitis, Sam Faubert, Marjorie Crimmins, Orly Amsalam, Katharine (Spring) Kurz, and Marisa Ferrera, who make magic happen for the hundreds of thousands of Coterie families every single day. You are the secret sauce. Many thanks to our investors Align Ventures, American Pacific Group, BELIADE, our partners at Raymond James Vennette Ho Lee, Marko Horvat, Charles Baudron and Brendan Camuso, at Moxie Communications Group, Corinna (Pieloch) Purtill and at Cooley LLP James Allen and David Young. What's next will be nothing short of Mammoth. We're just getting started. https://lnkd.in/eCythe-UMammoth Brands clinches $1 billion-plus deal for high-end diaper maker CoterieMammoth Brands clinches $1 billion-plus deal for high-end diaper maker Coterie

Grace Weingard reacted on thisGrace Weingard reacted on thisAlmost four years ago, Jess Frenchman Jacobs asked me to chat with her new boss, Frank Yu, about “HR stuff.” Anyone who knows me knows I’m always happy to help, hop on a call, and have conversation. What started as a simple chat turned into one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career. Hands down. I joined a startup where the founder wasn’t just passionate about the product and brand he was building for parents, but was equally passionate about the team behind it. That’s what struck me, and ultimately, why I joined, and have stayed. The right team is E V E R Y T H I N G. Our incredible trajectory over the past few years is a result of this coterie we have thoughtfully and deliberately built together - a team of the best of the best. As a mom of three boys, I know firsthand that parenting is the absolute hardest job out there (it’s why I have a day job 😉). Our mission to make parents’ lives easier is something I feel deeply connected to, and I’m so grateful we’ll be able to continue carrying that forward as a part of Mammoth Brands. To our Coterie Founder, Frank Yu, thank you for your incredible vision and for always “engineering the better”. To leadership legends Jess Frenchman Jacobs, Grace Weingard, Lindsey Kling and Ankur Goyal, it truly is an honor to partner with you each day. Thank you all for your willingness to spend endless hours getting in the minutiae with me on things that really matter. A big thank you to our investors including Align Ventures, American Pacific Group, and BELIADE. We wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what we have so far without your continued support. To our legal partners at Cooley LLP, James Allen, David Young, Natalie D. Vernon, David Silverman, and Leila Kazerouni - we know that we have had the absolute dream team working alongside us, and we are so grateful. And, to our advisors at Raymond James Vennette Ho Lee, Marko Horvat, Charles Baudron, Brendan Camuso, and Kevin O’Brien, thank you for your steady guidance throughout this process. https://lnkd.in/eU3qx-94Mammoth Brands clinches $1 billion-plus deal for high-end diaper maker CoterieMammoth Brands clinches $1 billion-plus deal for high-end diaper maker Coterie

Grace Weingard reacted on thisGrace Weingard reacted on thisOk, let’s address the elephant in the room (someone had to make the joke!): Coterie is being acquired by Mammoth Brands. Looking at Coterie today - a highly profitable business with a beloved brand and an equally special culture - this outcome might seem inevitable. But look closer and you’ll see the hard, unconventional decisions, diligent execution, and sheer number of stars that had to align to make this possible. Coterie has redefined my understanding of what great looks like - building something people genuinely love, doing it alongside extraordinary teammates, and having the courage to invent rather than imitate. Thank you to Frank for innovating fearlessly. Thank you to Jess, Grace, Lindsey, Katherine, and David for being an amazing team in this nearly yearlong process. And thank you everyone who made Coterie a success, with special gratitude to my incredible team: John, Stephen, Rikki, Liz, Rachel, Sparkle (and Alyse and Olivia!).
