ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Join us on Byside as we welcome Robbie Patterson to unpack the playbook behind Astō Consumer Partners.
Robbie breaks down how his team recently raised a 350 million dollar fund to back profitable consumer brands in food, VMS, and personal care.
We explore why Astō prefers buying secondary shares at a 10 to 20 percent discount to align with founders, how they identify brands with massive gross margins up to 90 percent, and where true investment alpha lives in the transition from online channels to physical retail.
Plus, hear Robbie's bold prediction on why the public markets are reopening with half a dozen CPG IPOs this year.
