"innovative strategy is what makes us so unique"

Our Business Model

CP8 Capital’s innovative strategy is what makes us so unique in the private equity investment field. Traditional private equity firms invest significantly in established companies with strong management teams, steady growth and stable product offerings. In contrast, our ideal acquisition target may have limited access to retail & e-commerce customers, early-stage experience in product development, and a limited understanding of manufacturing. CP8 partners with early-stage consumer products companies, make equity investments, and work intimately with our acquisitions to scale product offerings/sales exponentially.

Our model is built to support rapid sustainable growth. We maintain strict pricing discipline, partnering with companies with low technology risk, focused regional sales presence and defensible industry positions. Our firm specializes in anticipating megatrends and changes to tariffs and regulatory policies, demographics, health and lifestyle, urbanization, technology, and sustainability. We maintain significant shareholder stakes in our portfolio of companies and with real growth, we look for profitable exit opportunities when strategic opportunities emerge.
