We raised $1.5M from Y Combinator & Airtree Ventures to transform debt capital markets.
Good deals get stuck in the wrong inboxes.
Advisors can’t know every lender. Funds can’t read every deal. And what a lender wanted last month may not be what it wants today.
Forward connects private credit funds with the leading debt advisors. – at San Francisco, CA

What they’ll never show you behind the scenes. We prototyped well over 3000 bookmarks to get all of the details right

Got me feeling like LeBron choosing his next team the way I’m debating between these materials.
They all work in theory but only a few available in practice

@thinkwithmark uses double shot injection molding to get that unibody look. This is how it works
It’s a technique that injects 2 different plastics into the same mold in the same sequence.
Typically costs 2-3x more than normal tooling. But it’s worth every penny.
For us, it injects the transparent material through a thin tube, then, the machine flips the entire mold around, injecting the rest of the body. At the end, they’ll CNC the hoe for buttons. The precision it needs is absolutely crazy.
You should always use white for prototypes, it’s the easiest to spot any defects.
Gonna keep sharing our mass production experiences

Purposely designed a window on the back of our packaging so it can be as versatile as your taste. Some potential options. Which one would you prefer?

Best way to become better at designing packaging is to touch more papers. Understand how different materials balance with each other.

day one of doing visuals for brands I find cute, starting with @thinkwithmark
I saw the launch and some tweets from @EasonTang23. The brand's image looks fantastic, felt quite similar to my visual world so, here we are

There's so much that goes into branding. It's never just the colors, typography, or photo choices. The ethos — and the reasons why your brand deserves to exist — is what sets it apart. I'm just at the beginning of cultivating Mark's brand into a lifestyle we all yearn for
