Habitat Partners is one of the few funds that is still investing in pre-launch CPG opportunities while most funds have moved their goalposts. Here are the 6️⃣ pre-seed criteria we use to assess companies with minimal financial traction - these have led us to formally partner with brands like Ayoh Foods, sincerely yours, Elm Biosciences, Roxberry Naturals, PopUp Bagels, and more in their earliest days. We look for brands that meet at least 4, but ideally 5 of the following: 1️⃣ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐚𝐭: not a common attribute in CPG... but real IP and formulation defensibility guarantees differentiation and increases the likelihood of exit when paired with great branding and commercial execution Example: Elm's proprietary triple-pathway antisenescent molecule 2️⃣ 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐚𝐭: when a brand has unique, privileged access to a channel, retailer, or method of distribution. This can be an extension of an influencer's or celebrity's reach or a special relationship with a physical retailer. Example: Sincerely Yours' exclusive launch partnership with Sephora 3️⃣ 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐚𝐭: a founder that has deep, relevant experience operating in the category they are now building in - this could mean the founder has a relevant exit under their belt or it could mean the founder simply has tremendous commerical firepower based on historical roles. Example: Ayoh's founder who spent years at Whole Foods before leading Siddhi's Ops group, serving as fractional COO for many top brands 4️⃣ 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧: early stage brands live or die by gross margins (unless they can fundraise sizable amounts of money extremely quickly/effectively to cover burn). We audit costs within co-manufacturing contracts compared to planned pricing architecture to decipher if gross margin is viable compared to benchmarks we have across categories. This criterion trumps nearly all others. Example: all of the above brands 5️⃣ 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝/𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: does the brand take a unique approach to positioning and community building? How fragmented is the category to date and does the brand demonstrate strong competitive differentiation vs the peer set? Example: Ayoh's differentiated flavor profiles and positioning surrouding re-inventing sandwich culture OR PopUp Bagel's viral partnership model and commitment to a simple rip and dip menu 6️⃣ 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: we've seen it all (especially when a celebrity/influencer gets involved) but median target is $5M post. Even with a celeb founder, we haven't seen enough evidence to unequivocally conclude that acquirers pay a premium at exit, so we don't see a rationale for paying up at entry (immediately eating into a target MOIC) even if the $0 to $10M journey is accelerated. The truth is if you can't hit 5+ of the above, you are better off maximizing your angel/family office surface area until you have enough financial traction to pursue institutional investors.
