Food and Beverage IB to PE
Currently in a senior in college about to join a food and beverage coverage group. I’m interested in moving to buyside eventually but wondering if there are opportunities in this sector, or if there are only a few groups that cover this.
Anyone have any insight?

Probably more limited for this exact space aside from LMM players. Plenty of great Consumer firms that will allow you to touch it.
Plenty. There wouldn’t be a food and bev coverage group if there weren’t active sellers and buyers.
I just left food/bev IB after three years. There's a shit ton but mostly in the MM. Anything you learn in food/bev will transfer nicely to any consumer vertical (personal care, hard goods, etc.). Many brands are investing in their own manufacturing so you'll probably be exposed to that at some point which can be helpful if you want to exit consumer. DTC/ecomm brands will expose you to DTC metrics (LTV, retention, CAC, churn, etc.) that is important in consumer tech / tech - so that can also be parlayed to shift away from strictly food/bev if you want.
A few buyside shops that come to mind: encore consumer, vmg, mainpost partners, investeco, l catterton, carlyle, terpsi, amberstone, monogram, groundforce, prelude, karp reilly, emil capital, yellow wood, semcap. There's also a million VC funds out there but I'm less familiar with those shops.
There's also a lot of strategics in the space if you want to go that route.
