InvestBev, a Chicago, IL-based private equity firm which specializes in venture and growth investments in the adult beverage industry, received $50M facility from Victory Park Capital.
The facility, which has the potential to upsize to $100 million in the future, will support InvestBev’s efforts to provide non-dilutive debt capital to whiskey brands, distilleries, and asset managers backed by whiskey barrel collateral.
Founded in 2015 by Brian Rosen, InvestBev supports beverage brands at every stage of their growth from incubation to acquisition. Partners receive full-service support, including growth and acceleration strategy, sales and marketing, retail distribution operations, insurance, and capital, including equity and credit lending.
The company recently unified its affiliated entities – InvestBev, Sprout Beverage, Algoma Capital, and BevStrat – into a single, full-service company. With $200 million in assets under management and a separate $100 million in private credit through InvestBev Private Credit, the company offers full-service support for adult beverage brands across every stage of growth – spanning incubation to acquisition.
Current portfolio companies include JuneShine, Ten to One Rum, Thomas Ashbourne Craft Spirits, and Cann Social Tonic.
