Bain Capital’s private credit group acted as sole lender and administrative agent for a $225 million senior credit facility to Kids2, a global platform company that designs holistic solutions to help early-stage parents and families. The financing will support Kids2’s continued growth and global expansion.
“Kids2 was looking for a partner who understands our long-term vision. Bain Capital’s ability to deliver a scaled, flexible capital solution made them the right choice,” Ryan Gunnigle, CEO of Kids2, said. “This partnership strengthens our position as a global platform company and gives us the ability to invest in innovation and thoughtfully expand categories to better serve the families around the world.”
Brad Charchut, a partner at Bain Capital’s private credit group, added, “Kids2 has built a scaled, diversified platform with strong brand equity across dozens of categories. We focus on backing businesses with durable market positions and clear pathways for growth, and this investment reflects that approach. We look forward to partnering with Ryan and his team as they continue to execute on their strategy.”
Lincoln International served as financial advisor to Kids2, and Proskauer Rose and Foley & Lardner served as counsel to Bain Capital and the company, respectively.
