Our work is focused on providing capital to cutting-edge brands in a dynamic, rapidly evolving market. By nature, we’re accustomed to market shocks and disruption. 2021 certainly lived up to this, giving us an opportunity to rise to the occasion. More than ever, we’re focused on what Dwight stands for. We’ve remained unwavering in our commitment to serving brands and collaborating with partners. 2021 was spent focusing on our fundamentals: partnership, industry specialization, and transparency.
To better deliver on this, we invested in our brand, content, technology, and much more. What we’re most proud of, however, continues to be the growth of our portfolio companies. We supported brands as they tackled the supply chain, digital privacy initiatives, and inflation. Brands in Dwight’s portfolio approached challenges with intent, created roadmaps, and executed against them with conviction, well positioning them for the year to come.

Looking Ahead to 2022
“For a multitude of reasons, businesses are going to start to transact. While a turbulent economic environment is not always the ideal environment to command the best price, we will see some success stories come out of the public markets. We will also see some M&A in the private markets amongst smaller brands that are combining to reach scale, and amongst breakout brands that may look for majority transactions.”
