SWAT Equity

Founded in 2015, SWAT Equity Partners is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests  in high-growth consumer brands that are disrupting their categories with a differentiated product or service. 
 
We believe strong brands and communities are as important to success as operational and financial performance.  And, we leverage our partners’ 80+ combined years of expertise in marketing, traditional private equity, and entrepreneurship to identify and support our portfolio, which we believe paves the way to prudently accelerated growth.

SWAT Equity is thrilled to support Jupiter alongside Willow Growth Partners and Springdale Ventures in its next chapter of growth!  We believe this brand has great potential to reshape the conversation around dandruff and scalp health for a customer segment that's been ignored for far too long.  

We can't wait to see how this team will continue to disrupt and give zero flakes in the process ❄   Let's go!
