It's been a tough few years for roll-up companies, but Pattern Brands seems to have bucked the trend. The company -- which began as design agency Gin Lane and evolved into a portfolio of DTC brands including Open Spaces, Onsen and Gir -- raised a $25 million Series B in 2022 -- and has been slowly building out its portfolio ever since. While other roll-up players like Thrasio and Win Brands Group have faced major headwinds, Pattern has continued chugging along. Its co-founder and chief business officer Suze Dowling, who joined the Modern Retail Podcast this week, attributes this to the company's focus on its core consumer. "If you're working across seven brands in a portfolio, it is helpful to try and find what is the grounding force," Dowling said. This shopper is internally dubbed "Mia," and all of Pattern's brands -- including towel company Onsen and kitchen accessory maker Air -- target "those micro-moments of [Mia's] day, and how can we make them just a little bit more special," Dowling said. By having that focus on one type of shopper, Dowling said that Pattern has been able to remain grounded and focused. "I would challenge [the idea that] for some of the Amazon aggregators -- that also had 50 brands, 100 brands -- that they were able to find those same synergies in how they operated," she said. For now, Pattern has been focused on finding the right brands to buy -- as well as finding the best modes for growth. "I'm very excited and kind of gung-ho on trying to make sure we build some mass retail partnerships over the next 12 to 18 months," Dowling said.
Joy Fan, Founder & CEO of Re/tell, shared the story behind her title with us on February 7, 2024.Joy Fan is a 2x founder, operator, and urbanist - democratizing access to affordable real estate.Previously, Joy popularized the pop-up retail industry as a founding member of Storefront - the largest marketplace for short-term retail with over 150,000 brands (acquired in 2016).Joy is known for building consumer enablement technology, and created the "retail-as-a-service" model adopted by thousands of DTC brands, REITS, mall operators, developers, and landlords; is an active committee advisor for Women in Proptech and a part of Mayor Eric Adam's NYC Small Business Advisory Commission.Today, with the height of the pandemic leaving cities vacant; small businesses crushed with displacements, and online brands competing for expensive digital ad space (moving 20% of marketing spend to physical retail) – the $17 Trillion Real Estate industry is due for further disruption.Joy and her team built a B2B marketplace + booking platform that lands online/DTC brands into shared retail by instantly matching them with their end consumer (a $120 Billion dollar annual opportunity).Re/tell has oversubscribed brand partners, a growing waitlist, e-commerce marketplace partners (Verishop, Marmalade, Pattern Brands, Sharma Brands, We Are Women Owned, Ladies Who Launch, New York Naturally), enterprise space partners (Jamestown, Brookfield, Westfield), BID (Business Improvement District) demand from 3 major cities, and an official partnership with New York Mayor Eric Adams and NYC/EDC to drive economic growth and innovation.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/women-to-watch-r/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Entrepreneur and iconic brand builder Emmett Shine comes on the podcast to talk about building brands in an onchain world. They cover RMX.party and the magic of account abstraction, web3 as an infrastructure layer, provenance and attribution in the new era of the internet.

What is it like to help founders become millionaires? He can tell you that, too.Phillip takes some time with Nick Ling to talk about Pattern's Acquisition of Onsen, how they build trust with founders, and why they hold strong views loosely as they build differently.Time and Trust“Good brands aren't built overnight. It takes time to build a loyal audience and a really great product.” - NickBuilding trust is a very important aspect of how Pattern approaches brand acquisitions.“It's never been more exciting to be an entrepreneur and consumer in general. There's a much bigger community and there are a lot more interesting ideas bubbling to the top.” - NickThe past couple of years have been the toughest yet for eCommerce businesses because there have been so many challenges to navigate and also big growth to be had“As a company what we're trying to do is keep an open mind towards how you really can grow brands in the evolved environment that we have today.” - Nick“Brands are more valuable as brands than just products because you're buying into a way of life and you build trust.” - Nick“You're an incubator on a few levels. You're building brands, and you're building brand operators, and you're building people with aspirations who seem to want to go build things for themselves.” - PhillipAt Pattern Brands there are new problems to solve all the time because they are building in a very different wayAssociated Links:Check out Onsen at OnsenTowel.comSubscribe to Insiders and Senses to read more of our hot takes!

For Emmett Shine, being in the right place at the right time was never a matter of luck — it was a matter of hustle. It was a practice in leveling up a bit before you're ready, but not overstretching. After designing, building, and strategizing some of the most iconic modern brands — from Sweetgreen and Whole Foods to Warby Parker and Everlane — his design agency Gin Lane closed to pursue Pattern Brands. They're scaling down and venturing out to build a thoughtful collaborative of home brands that are, of course, stunningly functional and instantly essential.In this episode, Emmett cuts right to the chase of what it took to get in the room with legacy fashion brands, the design and marketing strategy that built iconic ecommerce brands, and what he's looking for in new brands for Pattern.Visit the Lumi blog for links and images.
