Investment thesis

Piper is a London-based private equity firm founded in 1985 that invests in fast-growing consumer brands with sales of £5–50m, deploying £5–20m per investment. As a certified B Corp, Piper describes itself as 'a mix of investors, brand strategists, digital innovators, talent and culture experts' who have 'helped more than 50 brands become industry pioneers across 70 countries, while growing online by over £500m and opening more than 250 experiential spaces.' The firm targets brands across retail, leisure, food & drink, wellness, beauty, pets, travel and hospitality — typically taking minority or majority stakes as the first institutional partner — and works alongside founders to build what it calls 'brand legends': purpose-led, community-driven businesses that are 'resolutely true to their purpose' and retain an 'entrepreneurial challenger spirit' well beyond the investment period.
