Vaultier7 is a London-based, specialist private equity fund dedicated to providing growth capital to brands within Beauty & Personal Care, Health & Wellness and Lifestyle. We believe that the pace of innovation amongst early-stage branded consumer companies has not yet been matched by the necessary levels of growth capital, particularly in the UK and Europe, and we are passionate about providing the right financing environment for these companies to thrive. The companies we invest in play an increasingly important role in consumer’s everyday lives, with an ever expanding desire to live in a healthy, holistic and proactive way. Having partnered multiple brands in our target sectors, we are excited about sharing insights, network and expertise to the benefit of our portfolio companies and their consumers.
