Our incubation arm for the brands we believe can become the next cult brands of their category.
17 years, 17 investments, and a track record of helping founders grow from idea to scale.
We back a small number of founders whose missions we can’t ignore, then get in the trenches with them.
We combine a lighter retainer with real sweat equity across performance PR, influencer, UGC, social, and launch strategy — so our incentives stay aligned and your brand is built to break through, not blend in.
We align every effort with outcomes that matter. By combining creative execution with performance tracking, we ensure consistent and scalable brand growth.
Different stages need different playbooks, and we exercise real discernment so you’re not over-building in the wrong places or chasing tactics you don’t need yet.
Focus on clarity of story, proof of product, scrappy visibility, and tight feedback loops over bloated channel mixes.
Layer in performance PR, influencer engines, and UGC systems that feed both organic and paid, plus retail and DTC.
Codify your position as a cult brand with repeatable systems, moat-worthy narrative, and global-ready operations.
