We're not playing
with house money Let us explain

We decided to become venture operators based on our own growth ambitions. In doing so, we’re taking calculated risks so that all stakeholders win.

Our playbook for building digital brands

 

The concept of building a digital brand is easy, but selecting the right opportunities and executing the right plan is what differentiates small versus significant outcomes. We’ve developed a proprietary playbook for how to evaluate brands, build audiences, and establish revenue operations that helps us produce the predictable results needed to build valuable brands that do good in the world.

Our formula for success

Winning in a demanding game requires Grit. We approach all of our digital brands with our Growth Takes Grit Formula for predictable success.

  • Great Strategy
  • Relentless Execution
  • Intentional Collaboration
  • Tenured Talent

Recent brands we've built

Being the armchair quarterback is no fun; so we thought it was time to get in the game. We scaled betterpet.com—a proprietary asset that gives pet parents the veterinarian-backed advice they deserve—pioneering the latest SEO and content strategies and staying up-to-date on algorithm changes that impact performance.

We expect the hearing health, more specifically the hearing aid market, to grow by upwards of 7% CAGR by 2028; making it a $10B+ market. However, there are few trusted and quality sources of information about hearing aids on the web. Which is why we launched Audiologists.org, a web guide that provides scientifically based and medically sound advise to seniors looking for hearing aids and hearing health information online.
