Hey There,

My guest today is Megan Bent, Managing Partner at Harbinger Ventures.

Harbinger Ventures is a leading growth-equity investment firm focused on identifying and scaling high-growth companies in the consumer sector. They are the only fund I know of where each portfolio company actually has a stake in the fund.

We cover a lot of ground on this episode:

  • Do consumers consider beef a healthy protein choice

  • Managing scale vs. SKUs

  • The benefits of having a concentrated portfolio approach

  • Identifying emerging consumer categories

  • Differences between brand efficiency vs. operation efficiency

Thanks for listening!
