Profiling the consumer brands listed with us at Done Deal and capturing a few signals speaking to players in the market We have 200+ consumer brands and $200mm of revenue listed with us to raise capital from strategics and VCs , ~70% of them are profitable, and some of the larger ones (>$3mm ARR) are bootstrapped!! >> What is hot right now with consumer VCs? Footwear and Toys Everyone wants a piece of it. These sectors are scaling fast now supported by a strong make in India trend and Indian consumer centric innovation. Varun Duggirala and Pooja Jauhari are starting with an IP first approach with EMoMee. Biased view, but loving Comet shoes - design and comfort 10/10! >> Offline While quick commerce is supporting the F&B and B&PC sectors, everyone in apparel and home furnishing (mattresses, home decor, furniture) is figuring out how to scale offline quickly and efficiently. Vikram Kankaria and Dhruv Toshniwal, both solid founders in this space recently raised capital to scale omni-channel. Sorin Investments's investment in LiteStore was probably made to capture this trend, can see this play out over the next 2-3 years >> Sectors with higher gross margins like B&PC afford a longer runway (an extra 20% marketing budget!). Right to win here is R&D, Mamaearth recently acquired a lab to strengthen this capability. We are helping a bootstrapped $8mm+ brand in personal care looking to raise capital to drive scale Rohit Raj Shubhang Upadhyay Dehit Bhardva Neha Kulthia Gaurav Jha #offline #beautyandpersonalcare #apparel #fundraising #acquisitions #strategic #consumer #footwear #toys

🌟🌟 Thrilled to announce another Fintech acquisition on Done Deal! 🌟🌟 The acquirer gained an incredibly strong customer acquisition channel which they can leverage with their existing lending playbook, and the founders and investors got a clear exit! Fintech M&A and investing is heating up in India. We continue to see a lot of traction from strategics and in a few pockets from VCs ("Our next deal has to be a fintech one"). In the current regulatory environment, we expect to see a lot more consolidation in 2024, and stand-alone niche fintech products are likely to find better traction in financial conglomerates (lending to wealth to stocks) What are they looking for - solid tech (build vs buy), licenses and differentiated and innovative customer reach to bring down CAC. Check out the active ones on our mandates page at https://lnkd.in/dxVbN559, but we are seeing several other large fintechs active on our platform. Here’s to more successful Done Deals and powering growth!! Join us at www.done.deals and let's make starting up worth it for you!
