Consumer & leisure
Card-Based Drinking Game
A fast-growing consumer brand matched with private equity buyers seeking scalable, product-led businesses.
The challenge
A digital-native fashion brand attracted inbound interest from overseas, but the founders needed help navigating cross-border due diligence, currency considerations and cultural fit with a US trade buyer.
Our approach
We ran a confidential process focused on trade buyers with existing DTC infrastructure in North America and Europe.
Legal and finance coordination was managed through our Starling360™ approach, keeping professional fees predictable for the sellers.
Management stayed closely involved in buyer meetings to assess long-term brand stewardship.
The outcome
The business sold to a US trade buyer expanding their international DTC footprint. Completion was achieved with clear IP and inventory transition plans.
