Lucas Brand Equity is a private equity fund focusing in the skincare, beauty and personal care space. LBE is principally owned and managed by Jay Lucas. Jay was a partner and one of the founders of Bain & Company’s LBO Consulting Group. Jay is the Founder of The Lucas Group, a leading strategy and private equity firm focused on the lower middle market. In that role, Jay and his teams have worked with leading private equity investors, engaged in more than 300+ transactions, including investments in more than 24 lower middle market companies, with multiple investment partners. These transactions have consistently generated returns in excess of 3.5 – 5.0x over the past 20 years. Backed by a team of seasoned executives, LBEs strategy is to infuse brands with proprietary technology, leverage the technology and ‘brand story’ to create a ‘differentiated position’ in the marketplace, and grow through non-traditional, ‘guerilla-like’ tactics to achieve scale.

We are a family office with direct and fund investing and capital raise advisory capabilities. We are keenly focused on providing consumer-focused solutions for underresearched conditions in the medical community based on our outlook for short-term positive cash flows, co-investors, and proprietary upsides. Beyond our work, we live life with Menieres disease, scoliosis and other niche conditions, which motivated us to incorporate initially. We also partner with non-profits providing STEM education, athletic involvement and mental health solutions for marginalized communities. Together, we thrive at the center of clean, safe, and well.
