Overview.
LittleOak is an infant and toddler nutrition business, offering a premium range of whole goat milk-based products sourced from New Zealand. All LittleOak ingredients are naturally derived, environmentally friendly, and best for baby. It is a leader in direct-to-consumer infant nutrition.
Why we invested.
LittleOak is well positioned to enter the faster growing premium segment of the very large infant nutrition market. Strong category tailwinds driven by socioeconomic factors, convenience and an increasing education on nutrition and environmental consciousness further added to the investment opportunity.
Why LittleOak chose us.
LittleOak was looking for an investment partner that understood the market opportunity and support its growth. With previous FMCG experience, governance, and stewardship capabilities, we were a natural partner for the founder to execute on the growth opportunity.
