About us

A venture studio built by operators, for operators.

We created So&So because we saw a gap. Great products without the right support. Capital without the right expertise. We fill both.

Case Study

The quip Story

quip started as a sketch in 2012. By 2022 it was a $130m business with 15 million customers, 50 million products sold, and distribution in 15,000 retail doors.

The team behind So&So built it. Not as advisors. As the founders, executives, and operators who made the decisions and did the work.
