INDUSTRY

Consumer &

Marketplaces

Products and platforms people choose every day. We connect investors with the consumer brands, two-sided marketplaces, and subscription businesses earning a place in everyday life.

Global consumer network
Connecting consumer founders with investors across international markets.
Network effects
Marketplaces grow through liquidity on both sides of the transaction.
Retention matters
Retention and repeat behaviour signal durability more than growth alone.
Why

Habits beat campaigns.

Consumer businesses are judged on whether people come back without being paid to. Marketplaces add the harder problem of balancing supply and demand simultaneously in every market they enter.

Network Effects

Marketplaces grow through liquidity on both sides of the transaction.

Retention Matters

Repeat behaviour signals durability far better than growth alone.

Habits Over Campaigns

Consumer businesses are judged on whether people come back unprompted.
