New Value Capital is a small market private equity firm that invests solely in enthusiast, high affinity consumer products. Our areas of focus are coffee, automotive performance products, outdoor and survival, and luxury adventure travel. While these end markets seem diverse, the customer cohorts are surprisingly similar.

Since investing, Clive has grown seven-fold and has become the leading luxury espresso and coffee retailer in the US. We are consistently pushing the boundaries of proactive customer service and a white-glove approach to amazing coffee at home. We are also always looking for talented folks who would like to join a small retail revolution. jobs@clivecoffee.com

COBB was New Value's first control transaction. COBB is the market leader in performance tuning products for Subaru, Mitsubishi, Mazdaspeed, Porsche and Ford Ecoboost vehicles.
