Stride Consumer Partners LLC ("Stride" or the "Firm"), a growth-equity investment firm that focuses on passion brands in consumer products and services, announced today the final close of its inaugural fund, Stride Consumer Fund I (the "Fund"), with $420 million of capital commitments.

We would like to thank our limited partners for their confidence in and commitment to Stride. We also want to express our tremendous gratitude to our indispensable partners at Campbell Lutyens, who served as our placement agent, and Latham & Watkins, LLP, who served as our legal advisor.
