We back founders and brands that are ready to build on infrastructure, not hope.
What We Look For
Three things. That's it.
Product-market fit.
People already love what you make. Friends reorder. Farmers market customers come back. You have signal, not just a recipe.
Founder commitment.
This is your thing. Not a side project, not a portfolio bet. You wake up thinking about this product and you go to sleep thinking about this product.
Category potential.
The category is big enough to matter. You don't need to be in the biggest category — you need to be in one where infrastructure gives you a real, durable edge.
Two Tracks
Where you are determines how we help.
You have the product. We have the rails.
- Product is ready or near-ready to ship
- Looking for distribution infrastructure, not just capital
- Want to launch into wholesale on day one
- Need canonical product identity, AI discovery, and logistics
You have traction. We have what's next.
- Already selling — DTC, retail, or regional wholesale
- Distribution is the bottleneck, not the product
- Ready to upgrade to infrastructure that compounds
- Want AI-native discovery and agent commerce from day one
What We Don't Need
No pitch deck. No financial model. No 40-page business plan.
Tell us what you make, why people love it, and where you are. We'll figure out the rest together.
Ready when you are.
Email us. Tell us about your product. We respond to every submission within one week.
