Gather
Capital
Experienced operators, empowering potential. Specializing in giving undervalued businesses their next chapter.
We are Gather
Gather’s philosophy is simple: We specialize in giving undervalued food and beverage businesses their next chapter. The name "Gather" embodies our ethos: bringing together undervalued businesses with the operational experience and infrastructure necessary to achieve great outcomes.
Made up of a team of operators that have worked together in food and beverage across two startups for 10+ years, we are building a new type of holding company.
The Gather Difference
Imagine a collection of overlooked puzzle pieces—each valuable on its own but incomplete. On their own, they might seem scattered or hard to place. But with the right vision, structure, and assembly, they come together to form something far greater than the sum of their parts.
At Gather, we take undervalued businesses, refine their operations, build the missing infrastructure, and connect them in ways that unlock exponential value.
Gather was born from over a decade of this team navigating the food and beverage industry and all the difficulty that comes along with it. Kyle and the team have seen operationally demanding businesses – people-intensive models, complex execution, etc. —struggle due to not having the correct unit economics, too much overhead, and a clear lack of talent management & systems implementation.
Businesses can only achieve their best outcomes when operational difficulties are addressed head-on. Gather exists to tackle these challenges, creating the systems, processes, and infrastructure that allow businesses to significantly expand margin, talent plan for the future, and to foundationally solidify the systems that will make the business significantly more stable.
We’re building a better holdco acquisition model.
