Platform Appetite

I have a handful of consumer brands in one specific category. EBITDA is around $10m. 

Any idea what the market looks like atm for something like this? 

I think we could keep scaling it, maybe do another acquisition and get it to $20m in EBITDA within 4 years or so…but I don’t think multiples expand much going from $10m -> $20m. 

Thoughts? It feels like I see less small platforms floating around and a lot less appetite for stuff like this. 

I’m ok with holding as I like the management team and am having fun. The space this platform is in is generally quite acquisitive. I think there are 7 to 10 strategics that we would be a nice target for.
