Partner with usCapabilities
Grand Slam is a venture studio that builds and scales direct-to-consumer eCommerce brands. Our edge is creative and paid media: years of scaling brands on paid ads, now paired with AI that lets us make, test and learn from far more creative than a traditional team. We use it to launch new brands and to take great brands to their next stage.
AI-assisted research across consumer data and markets shows us what people want next, and which brands are ready to grow.
Creative and paid tests show what resonates before we commit, so only the strongest ideas move forward.
Brand, store and a creative engine that ships fresh ads every week, built to feed paid media.
Scale paid media across every channel customers shop, with creative fresh enough to keep compounding.
Creative and paid media at the core, with AI built into how we work.
Your growth
AI-assisted production alongside creators and influencers, so we test hundreds of concepts, not a handful.
Partner with usPlay 01 · Build
We spot unmet demand early, then develop the product, the brand and the launch around it, so a new idea reaches customers ready to compete.
Play 02 · Partner
We partner with and acquire established brands whose products customers already love, then bring the team and growth engine to take them to new customers and new channels.
We follow the customer, not the category. The playbook travels.
What we’re learning from building brands, one launch at a time.
All field notesPaid media can buy a first order. It can’t buy a second one. What we focus on after the checkout, and why it decides how far a brand can scale.
ReadOnce the core channels are working, growth eventually needs new audiences. When we add AppLovin, native ads and other channels, and how we judge whether they’re genuinely adding sales.
ReadMost AI tools wait for you to ask. We’ve been testing Hermes, the open-source agent from Nous Research, as a persistent assistant for the growth team. What works, and where we keep it on a short leash.

Partner with usGrand Slam is an AI-native venture studio that builds and scales direct-to-consumer eCommerce brands. We bring creative production, paid media and AI together in one team that works across several brands, and we share in the results we help create.
Founders, operators and partners. That includes brands with a great product that are ready for their next stage, people with an idea for something customers need, experts who know a category inside out, and Amazon-native brands ready to build their own direct-to-consumer channel.
An agency sells time or deliverables. A studio has a stake in the outcome: we do the work and share in the upside. Every brand also benefits from a shared senior team and from what we learn across all the brands we build and back.
Yes. Depending on the brand, we acquire it or partner with it. Some founders are ready to sell; others want to keep ownership and bring in a team to help them scale. We shape every arrangement around the brand and the people behind it.
Meta, Google and TikTok form the core. As brands scale, we add channels such as AppLovin, native ads, Pinterest, YouTube and creator programs, each with a clear job and judged on what it adds to the whole business, not just its own dashboard.
Throughout the studio: researching customers and markets, drafting briefs, producing and varying creative alongside real creators, and reporting on results. People approve everything that goes live, and we never use AI to invent customers, testimonials or results.
Yes. We build a Shopify store designed to convert, a creative engine and paid media across Meta, TikTok and Google, and the email and SMS flows that bring customers back, while Amazon stays a core channel.
We follow the customer rather than the category. We know health and wellness, home and living, pet, baby and family, fashion and accessories, beauty and personal care, tech accessories, and food and drink.
