Diana Melencio, GP of our Brand Capital Fund, is on a panel at @beautyindie_ Dealmaker Summit London, Nov 9–10.

Will you be in London? We'd love to say hi
Are you building a rental business and need technology to run it? We're licensing ready-to-use rental software to founders. No cash. Equity only.
Here's what that means 👇
The rental economy is no longer niche. Furniture, fashion, tools, electronics, appliances — everything is becoming a subscription in today's K-shaped economy. The infrastructure to run these businesses hasn't caught up. That's the gap we're filling.
We're looking for founders building here. The deal is equity, not cash. Drop a comment or reach out: [email protected]
