Disco
Disco is a San Francisco-based commerce media network that connects brands to high-intent shoppers through AI-powered, personalized offers across more than 800 digital touchpoints. Founded in 2020 by former Facebook and Affirm operator Conner Sherline, Disco started as a post-purchase ad network that lets independent DTC brands recommend each other to customers at the checkout 'thank you' moment, lowering customer acquisition costs without relying on Big Tech. It has since grown into a broader commerce media layer powering endemic and non-endemic advertising for retailers and B2B2C SaaS companies, built on one of the largest commerce graphs in the market.
Grip
Grip is a Miami-based cold-chain fulfillment and logistics company that helps direct-to-consumer brands ship frozen and refrigerated goods without them arriving as soup. Founded by former ButcherBox logistics leaders, its software picks carriers, packaging, and refrigerant levels in real time based on weather and network conditions, and its warehouses across six states handle the physical fulfillment. The company says it has shipped more than two billion dollars of perishable goods on time for brands like HelloFresh, ButcherBox, and Open Farm.
