Graphite Outdoor Industry Consulting
Graphite Ventures

Our comprehensive go-to-market model brings together all the commercial functions – market opportunity and consumer insights, product innovation and brand strategy, sales and distribution – in order to drive the bottom line.  

 

We’ll help you figure out the “what”, the “how” and the ”who” in order to bring your product to market. 

As Operator/Investors, we bring our experience in product development, distribution, growth cycles, hiring, and more to new or small active lifestyle brands looking to scale and thrive. 

 

We specialize in new businesses and distressed brands and offer far better commercial knowledge and relevant industry experience than traditional investor partners.
