Consumer investors prioritize brand strength, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, repeat purchase rates, and organic growth indicators. They focus on market size, brand differentiation, customer engagement, and scalable customer acquisition channels.
Focus on underserved market segments, superior customer experience, authentic brand messaging, and community building. Leverage digital-first strategies, direct customer relationships, and faster product innovation cycles that large brands struggle to match.
Consumer brands typically take 18-36 months to scale from Series A: 6-12 months optimizing core markets, 6-18 months expanding customer acquisition channels and product lines, followed by geographic expansion or new category entry based on brand strength and market demand.
