Why Grizzly Bear Capital?
We’re not just investors. We’re builders.
Operators. Brand people. Culture nerds. Strategists. Real estate pros.
Grizzly Bear Capital exists to back people with the grit to build — and the clarity to scale. We’ve been through it ourselves. From nothing more than a deck, we built one of the UK’s fastest-growing restaurant groups, scaled it at pace, and exited at the top. Along the way, we made mistakes, learned fast, and built real conviction around what works.
So… Why Grizzly Bear?
No, we’re not that scary.
We just liked the idea of something strong, focused, and quietly powerful. Grizzly bears aren’t loud — they’re deliberate. Strategic. And when they move, they move with intent.
That’s how we work. We don’t chase everything. But when we believe in something, we back it with full force.
-
We’ve lived the zero-to-sixty. We know how hard it is — and what it really takes.
-
We believe in relevance over noise. We look for founders and ideas that connect with real people in real ways.
-
We care about margins, logistics, team structure, unit economics, and the not-so-glamorous stuff that actually builds value.
-
Our background in residential and commercial property gives us a sharp edge in site strategy and scale planning.
-
We work hands-on with the people we believe in. Fewer deals, deeper relationships.
