Investment for emerging brands
The Full Course Fund, FC Polaris Fund I, is looking to invest $2MM - $5MM in a total of five early-stage food brands by the end of 2025.
We offer development support coupled with fair and equitable investment, and we leave you the majority owner. It’s a new way of doing things that takes the best of both worlds.
Our proprietary Accelerator process was designed for early-stage food brands who want to grow with speed and intention.
We believe that all food brands should expand off a solid foundation built on multiple revenue streams, creating financial stability and a runway for growth. Our holistic approach starts with investing in the people who built the brand and creating a vision with them for business growth.
The Benefits of Our Approach:
-
Real world expertise: We didn't just study the industry from afar, our team is comprised of real operators who have optimized and scaled restaurants.
-
Omni-channel growth: Beyond expanding your restaurant footprint, we pursue multiple revenue streams for brand development.
-
Investment in your people: Our aim is not to clean house. It is to develop the leaders you have in place and add value where you have experience gaps.
-
True partnership: Along with the capital you need for growth, we work with you to develop and execute a plan designed to deliver exceptional returns in 5-7 years.
Ready to Accelerate?
The Accelerator program begins with an Initial Assessment.
Our goal is to learn more about your business to figure out the best way we can serve you. We will provide meaningful, actionable feedback in the areas of people, operations, finance, menu and marketing that you can implement to improve your business with or without the future support of Full Course. We also use this process to determine if your business is a good fit for our Accelerator, including investment.
