You sat across the table from vendors.

Either side of the table counts.
Retail insiders
You worked at the retailer — as a buyer, category manager, vendor relations lead, space planner, or in merchandising or regional ops. You know how the vendor evaluation actually works from the inside.
Manufacturer reps and brokers
You've spent years selling to retailers on behalf of manufacturers. You know exactly what buyers look for, what kills a new item, and how to position a line review to win.
Agency and multi-line reps
You carry multiple lines across multiple retailers. You've seen what separates a vendor who gets reset space from one who gets cut. That pattern recognition is exactly what manufacturers need.
They need someone who has been in the room.
- A read on their deck before they walk in the door — from someone who knows what the buyer actually looks at
- Retailer-specific coaching, not generic sales advice
- The vocabulary buyers use internally that never makes it into the vendor portal
- An honest take on their margin story, their program economics, their ask
- Someone who can say "this will land" or "this will get you cut" with real conviction
Simple. No platform lock-in.

We're building this with the first group.
The founding cohort gets first visibility when manufacturers start booking. If you've spent years — inside a retailer or selling to them — understanding how the shelf actually works, this is a way to put that to work on your terms.
