## About SKU

SKU is the original accelerator for the next generation of consumer brands. For more than 15 years, it has been an early signal for the founders, brands and consumer shifts shaping what comes next.

Through its selective, hands-on program, SKU brings the right people and resources around in-market founders ready for their next stage of growth. Seasoned operators, investors, industry specialists and serial entrepreneurs work alongside them to make the consequential decisions that turn early traction into enduring businesses.

Everything SKU does reflects a simple belief: Great consumer brands are not built in isolation. They take founder grit, well-timed capital, honest mentorship, meaningful access and a community invested in their success.

We seek out startup companies selling one or more products, with traction in the market. Products may be food, beverage, apparel, jewelry, toys, tools – anything a consumer would use. We look for innovation in a hot category – something new and better you bring to the market. Brands participating in SKU give up equity in their company. In exchange, you will get an intense, best-in-class education and will be working closely with some of the top experts in the industry who all are dedicated to helping you scale your business.
