principles

01
Relatable Human Touch Points

We don't believe in commoditizing consumer relationships but in helping brands learn how to authentically work and earn their consumers' attention, time, and dollars.

02
Minimize Harm

We seek opportunities to reduce harm every step of the way.

03
Multi-generational

We want to be part of creating a radically inclusive and multi-generational economy. That means we are working with a diverse group of founders and consumers across racial, age, socioeconomic, and gender lines.

04
Fun!

We love creating spaces full of laughter and good vibes. It keeps us going strong, sparks our creativity, and brings our community closer together.
