Cutting Horse
Overview
Cutting Horse is a growth equity firm investing in enduring consumer brands. The firm partners with founders to provide capital, strategic guidance, and hands-on operational support rooted in real founder experience. Cutting Horse focuses on consumer product and service companies generating $1-20 million in revenue, making minority investments ranging from $1 million to $10 million. The firm has offices in New York and Boston and has already completed four investments, including Promix Nutrition, which was acquired in 2024. Cutting Horse's team includes experienced operators who have built and scaled billion-dollar consumer brands, offering practical experience and strategic guidance to help founders build category-defining companies. The firm's name is inspired by the cutting horse, an animal defined by precision, focus, and quiet strength, reflecting Cutting Horse's disciplined, partnership-driven approach. Cutting Horse's portfolio reflects its broader thesis: that partnering early with the right founders at the right moment is the most compelling opportunity in consumer investing. For its Fund I, the firm received strong backing from a mix of institutional investors, family offices, and experienced operators who share the belief that consumer brands built with disciplined growth, strong unit economics, and authentic customer connection can generate lasting value. The firm sees continued opportunity in the evolution of consumer markets, where emerging brands are capturing share by delivering better products, stronger brand identities, and deeper customer relationships. Consumer businesses also stand to benefit meaningfully from advances in AI, strengthening execution and capital efficiency without diminishing the importance of differentiated products and services. As the firm deploys the fund, it will seek founders building distinctive consumer businesses at critical growth inflection points.
