We bring the brands. You fund their inventory.

A partnership built around the brands we both serve, and it works both ways.

    We bring brands that need inventory funding.

    We run operations for ecommerce brands selling $5–50M a year, mostly on Amazon and Shopify. When one needs to fund a bigger stock order or a new channel, we introduce you.

    It works both ways.

    In return, we can support any of your funded brands with day-to-day operations. For example, we can run stock planning for a brand you’ve funded, so the capital turns into sales faster.
