"Summary": "<p>I think this funding model could work really well, but only for brands that go hard into using new technologies and emerging business models - AI, token tech, reshored automated manufacturing, circularity built right into products, etc. We're at major inflection points and the old model of spinning up new brands using the same base products sourced abroad with minor variations to appeal to a new niche won't work. The market is just too saturated at this point with product and the U.S. economy lacks a growth engine to absorb it; not enough margin or growth potential to compensate for the risk (what Stephen Regenold alluded to), even with leverage from an incubator platform. But an incubator that highly differentiates using new tech and biz models could be really well positioned to not just steal marketshare from incumbents, but thrive through our period of transition (Fourth turning stuff). </p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/indie-label-approach-outdoor-mike-geraci-20rdc/?trackingId=k7BQsi%2FEjH3KuEcoC3RlhA%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\">The Indie Label Approach to Outdoor</a><br /></p>",
