Our standards

Software does the work. People answer for it.

You work directly with one of the co-founders, from the first call on.

  • Every number has a source

    Every figure in a pitch comes from your own records.

  • A person checks every pitch

    A member of our team reviews every pitch before it reaches a buyer.

  • Nothing spent without your OK

    We never commit your money to a promo or fee without your written OK.

Common questions

How do you get paid?

We earn a commission on what the stores we open buy from you. Founding brands pay nothing on a store’s first order, only on reorders, and their rate stays locked for two years. There’s no retainer or setup fee, and we go through the exact terms on a call before you sign anything.

Do I need a distributor?

No. Many independent grocers, specialty shops and co-ops buy direct from small brands. If a store only orders through a distributor, we tell you before we pitch it.

How does your software work?

It handles the desk work, from finding stores that fit to filling in vendor forms and tracking reorders, so we can cover more stores in less time. A member of our team reviews every pitch before it reaches a buyer. Nothing goes out in your name without your approval.
