Go Global is a private equity platform that acquires iconic consumer brands, transforms them through deep operational expertise, and scales them globally to generate strong risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
"Investors trust us with their capital because we have sat in the same seats as the founders that we support."Jeff Streader · Founder & Managing Partner
We have built brands from the ground up worldwide across multiple consumer sectors. Our team has operated stores, managed global supply chains, led merchandising teams, and implemented leading edge technology. When we invest, we understand precisely how to create value because we have done it before, at scale.
Our reach is global, with partners on the ground in the US, Europe, and Asia poised to unlock value in licensing, distribution, and international expansion. This ability to engage from day one is unrivaled by any other investment firm in the consumer sector.
Above all else, we hold ourselves accountable to the trust our LPs have placed in us by structuring every investment with financial discipline, clear return targets, and defined exit pathways. This ensures that we consistently deliver strong risk-adjusted returns.
Go Global investors include financial institutions, family offices, endowments, and high-net-worth individuals who recognize our ability to provide meaningful appreciation of their capital.
Our operational edge is not simply a narrative. It is the mechanism through which we generate alpha. Every operational improvement we make in a portfolio company translates directly into enterprise value and ultimately into distributions for our investors.
We invest selectively and only in brands where our specific operational capabilities create a clear path to enhanced value. We do not overpay. We structure deals to protect downside and maximize upside for our investors.
Every dollar of EBITDA improvement we create in a portfolio company contributes directly to investor returns. Our operating partners are not consultants — they are embedded in portfolio businesses to actively drive results and increase shareholder value.
We manage every acquisition with defined exit scenarios including strategic sale, licensing transaction, or recapitalization. Our global network gives us access to a broader universe of buyers than most consumer-focused investment firms.
We communicate with our investors as partners, not as passive capital sources. Regular reporting, open access to management, and honest assessment of both performance and risk are non-negotiable for us.
Our four completed SPV investments serve as proof points for our thesis. We identify iconic brands at inflection points, invest with conviction, and apply our global operating platform to accelerate their trajectory.

→An iconic community-driven women's fashion brand with a fiercely loyal customer base. We invested with a data-driven omnichannel growth thesis and a clear vision for brand repositioning and margin recovery.
