At last month’s Natural Products Expo West, Whipstitch Capital joined with global strategy consulting firm Bain & Company, Inc. to cohost an event titled “Building the Next $1 Billion Brand: How to Successfully Scale Insurgent Brands.” The event featured a panel moderated by Whipstitch Capital’s Mike Burgmaier, featuring insurgent brand leaders—Bill Creelman of Spindrift Beverage, Brian Rudolph of Banza, and Risa Cretella of Rao’s (owned by Sovos Brands)—who shared their journeys as they scale their brands.

Specialized investment firm Whipstitch Capital kicked off Expo West with a “2023 Capital Markets and Building Value” panel conversation that explored the status of the capital markets for consumer businesses, both M&A and private placements.
