Case Study - Due Diligence

Situation

A boutique investment advisory firm sought deep-dive commercial diligence on North America's fast-growing hydration and wellness brands in N.America. The client was evaluating three companies in the electrolyte mix and supplement space—each with unique product formulations, regulatory profiles, and go-to-market strategies.

Task

To provide an in-depth assessment of each company’s commercial viability, strategic fit, regulatory standing, and market differentiation, based on publicly available data, within a tight timeline. The analysis needed to be suitable for inclusion in investment memos and presentations

Action

  • Assessed each company’s business model, product claims, supplement classifications (FDA/FTC oversight), and ownership history using brand websites, press releases, and compliance databases
  • Mapped category size (electrolytes, hydration, functional wellness), estimated growth rates, and competitive landscape using syndicated reports, Amazon rankings, and digital shelf intelligence
  • Reviewed distribution footprints (DTC, retail, e-commerce) and mined reviews from platforms like Amazon, Reddit, and iHerb to gauge consumer loyalty, brand perception, and pricing concerns
  • Compiled prior deal comps, acquisition rationale, revenue growth figures, and alignment with potential acquirer portfolios
  • Delivered 6-part one-pagers per brand with visual summaries and investment flags—ready to plug into a diligence report or pitch deck

Result

  • Identified specific red flags (e.g., competitive saturation, consumer preferences) and upside signals (brand loyalty, whitespace positioning, margin potential)/li>
  • Helped inform client’s recommendation to pursue two targets for pre-term sheet engagement.
