For investors

One dataset.
Four products.

Retail+ for retailers. Supply+ for suppliers. Collectives for groups. Hank, the AI layer across all three. Built on direct POS integrations across the major providers. One signal, underneath every till.

Market context

Why this, why now.

01 · The problem
Structural data lag costs retail 1.5–3% of revenue.
Every actor in retail - retailer, supplier, wholesaler, POS provider - is making decisions on data that's 3–14 days old, fractured across 6–10 systems, and impossible to reconcile.
02 · The substrate
For the first time, the technology can actually do it.
Modern data infra (Snowflake, Iceberg, real-time CDC) plus capable LLMs make a sub-60-second, plain-English answer layer feasible. Before 2023, technically possible but commercially unviable.
03 · The moat
Four-sided liquidity, not a single product.
Every new retailer makes us more valuable to every supplier. POS providers anchor the data. Wholesalers anchor regional networks. Each side compounds the others.
04 · The market
Bigger than the line item it replaces.
$2.3T global grocery + $1.1T convenience + $1.8T specialty retail. Retail BI + analytics is ~$28B today and growing 11% CAGR. We expand the line into operations and the supplier-paid marketplace.
