We help consumer brands create winning product strategies

E-Commerce Category Insights

Data drives e-commerce. Actionable insights drive e-commerce success. As investors in consumer products and their brands, we found that it was critically important to understand the real-time trends of retail categories. So we invested in building our own technology company which now generates category-level insights for our brands, yielding a multiple of growth otherwise unattainable.

Product Finder

Understanding which product should next be brought to market–and why–is extraordinarily difficult to do without deep intelligence on the competitive landscape, as well as on the ever-shifting consumer demand. Our product-oriented portfolio companies consider the product launch pipeline an essential component of success, so we invested in building a technology company that powers the prediction of profitable product selection and launches, yielding a faster, more intelligent approach to growth.

Maximize Product Revenue

Growing a brand and its products across channels is nearly impossible to do without data-driven insights into the continually-changing rules of engagement for digital retail. Our product-oriented portfolio companies experienced a tremendous leap forward in revenue once we empowered them with technology that details how to position each product to maximize its revenue.

Rapid Prototyping & Innovation for Soft Goods

Manufacturing overseas might be appropriate for stable products which sell at sufficient volume, but the slow, expensive process of prototyping and innovation with an oversea manufacturer is usually detrimental. Our product-oriented portfolio companies needed a better solution, so we invested in a vertically-integrated prototyping company for soft goods, enabling rapid iteration at a low cost.

Global Sourcing Made Easy

As part of a Shared Services team that supports all of our product-oriented portfolio companies, the Global Sourcing specialists ensure rapid turnaround from request to PO, and also monitor replenishment levels on a product-by-product basis.

Digital Retail Execution & Marketing

As part of a Shared Services team that supports all of our product-oriented portfolio companies, the Digital Retail, and Marketing specialists ensure daily execution on the revenue-generating activities necessary for brand growth.

Fulfillment Services

As part of a Shared Services team that supports all of our product-oriented portfolio companies, the Fulfillment specialists ensure safe storage and on-time delivery for customer and retailer orders as well as customer support for your online customers, while saving you money at the same time.

Co-Investment Opportunities

Join us as an investor

Our perpetual fund is 100% GP funded and managed. While we do not deploy LP capital as a managed service, we allow co-investments from select capital partners, serving as a deal source to them, as well as a risk mitigator/growth accelerator for our mutual investments.

Consumer Product Focus

We focus exclusively on consumer products, the brands built around those products, and the technologies that power retail growth.

We can provide you with the capital you need to grow

We exist to bring innovative products to the world. And we love to grow companies in such a way that will create meaningful employment and success for their team members. We have deployed capital across the investment spectrum, from patented concepts to early-stage startups, through growth and companies on the verge of a public offering. Wherever your company or product is on this spectrum, we would love to get to know you.

Sell us your product or company

Sometimes Founders would rather exit than take on growth capital. We understand as we have been there too. As founders of over two dozen companies, several of which have exited, we appreciate how sweet selling your company can be.

If you have an IP-protected product or a revenue-generating brand, or a retail-oriented company and would like to exit, reach out to us!
