Emil Capital Partners, now operating as ECP Growth, is a Greenwich, Connecticut–based investment firm founded in 2011 that provides early- and growth-stage capital alongside operational support to entrepreneurial companies primarily in consumer goods, consumer tech, retail and related sectors in North America and Europe. The firm partners with founders to accelerate expansion, focusing on resilient categories that address evolving consumer needs and market shifts. Backed historically by the Tengelmann Group family office, it blends strategic insight with capital deployment to help businesses scale profitably.
