Investment thesis
Clover Vitality invests solely in emerging food and beverage companies, leveraging its principals' decades of experience as investors and operators of food brands and co-manufacturing firms. It targets companies whose growth requires more capital and resources than angels can typically provide, usually at the stage when a company is generating $500K to $10M in revenue and growing rapidly. The firm describes its capital as patient and flexible, and offers portfolio companies access to an extensive network of industry experts. It typically participates through convertible debt and priced equity rounds.
