Mammoth Brands Eyes IPO as It Challenges P&G and Unilever

CNBC reported Sunday that Mammoth Brands, the parent company behind Harry’s razors, Coterie diapers, and Lume Deodorant, is positioning itself as a serious rival to legacy consumer giants. The company is now weighing a Mammoth Brands IPO as early as the second half of 2026.

A Modern Take on Consumer Packaged Goods

Co-founders and co-CEOs Andy Katz-Mayfield and Jeff Raider framed their ambition plainly to CNBC. They want to build the kind of consumer goods company that Procter and Gamble or Unilever might resemble if they were launched today. The portfolio spans men’s grooming, baby care, and personal hygiene. Each brand was built with the end shopper in mind rather than the retailer, a distinction the founders argue gives them a structural edge over traditional players.

Mammoth generated $835 million in revenue in 2024, alongside nearly $100 million in adjusted EBITDA. The company also reported a compound annual revenue growth rate above 20% over the five years through 2024. Those numbers remain modest next to the tens of billions posted annually by P&G or Unilever, but the trajectory is drawing attention.

Background: A Decade of Disruption

Harry’s launched in 2013 after Katz-Mayfield grew frustrated paying high prices for replacement razor blades. He and Raider, who previously co-founded eyewear disruptor Warby Parker, had both worked at Charlesbank Capital Partners and Bain and Company. Harry’s began online and expanded onto Target shelves by 2016, riding the direct-to-consumer wave that reshaped retail. Its model let the company gather customer feedback quickly and iterate on product design without filtering decisions through retailer preferences.

That DTC foundation proved replicable. Mammoth replicated the playbook across other categories where incumbents had grown complacent. Nik Modi, co-head of global consumer and retailer research at RBC Capital Markets, told CNBC that larger companies once dismissed such challengers as minor irritants. That attitude, he suggested, is now changing as the cumulative pressure on legacy brands reaches a tipping point.

IPO Window Opens

Raider struck a measured tone on timing. He told CNBC the company is profitable today and will continue evaluating the right capital structure to support its long-term goals. A Bloomberg report cited in CNBC’s coverage indicated a public listing could come within months if market conditions cooperate. Beyond any listing, Mammoth plans to keep growing through acquisitions and internal product development. The CPG industry is watching closely. If Mammoth does go public, it would offer investors a rare direct bet on the insurgent brands steadily chipping away at household-name dominance.
