FOOD AND BEVERAGE INVESTMENT BANKING

Unlocking Growth in Food and Beverage

Hyde Park Capital partners with food and beverage companies that bring flavor, function, and innovation to market. From better-for-you snacks and specialty foods to co-manufactured beverages and private-label programs, we understand how these brands scale, differentiate, and compete.

We advise founders, operators, and investors on strategic transactions designed to support growth, liquidity, and lasting brand value.

Alcohol

From heritage distilleries to innovative canned cocktails, alcohol companies thrive on identity, compliance, and market reach. As regulations evolve and consumers seek new experiences, this segment continues to attract attention from buyers and investors. We help owners navigate strategic options, raise growth capital, or prepare for an eventual sale.

Co-Manufacturers and Private Label

Co-manufacturers and private-label producers play a critical role behind the scenes. These companies rely on strong customer relationships, operational reliability, and flexible capabilities. Hyde Park Capital works with operators to evaluate timing, explore buyer interest, and structure deals that reward long-term commitment.

Craft Beverage

Craft beverage companies often start with a loyal following and grow into powerful brands through quality and storytelling. Whether it’s kombucha, energy drinks, or small-batch brews, these businesses carry strong appeal in fragmented markets. We help craft founders think through capital needs, strategic partnerships, and what comes next.

Healthy and Better for You

This healthy and better for you sector includes snacks, beverages, and pantry staples built on clean ingredients and wellness-forward values. As consumer demand shifts toward function and transparency, we help these brands navigate capital raising, strategic partnerships, or exit opportunities that match their mission and audience.

Specialty and Niche Food

Specialty and niche food businesses serve loyal communities with unique, high-quality offerings. Whether it’s premium sauces, ethnic cuisines, or allergen-friendly baked goods, these brands stand out through focus and flavor. We help owners evaluate buyer interest, market positioning, and long-term growth options with clarity.

Vitamins, Minerals, and Supplements

The Vitamins, Minerals, and Supplements (VMS) sector continues to grow as consumers take a more proactive role in their health. Whether the focus is performance, immunity, or daily wellness, these companies blend science and consumer trust. Hyde Park Capital supports VMS businesses through growth strategy planning, capital raises, and buyer outreach that aligns with long-term brand goals.
