Shoutout to Patrick Hooley for all his hard work this summer! We're so glad to have had you on the Lunr team 🙌
This summer, I had the opportunity to work at Lunr Capital, LLC as a finance intern. These past few months have been an incredibly valuable experience. At Lunr, I applied my studies in economics and business to Lunr Capital’s operation of financing early-stage consumer brands. In my time at Lunr Capital, I participated in many different stages of the financing process, from helping with due diligence and underwriting to assisting with client management. I also assisted in organizing the first annual Lunr Investor + Retail Summit, a day of panel discussions and meetings to connect and inform investors and clients in the CPG industry. A big thanks to the Lunr team for providing me such an exciting opportunity in a fast-growing finance business. The experience and relationships will be invaluable to my future.

The Lunr team had a fantastic time at #SuperZoo in Las Vegas! Our top 3 moments of the show: 1️⃣ Dace on the “Startup Fundraising in Pet Care” Panel Dace Graham joined industry experts Cole Ahlvers (NQV8, LLC.), Ben Jacobs (Digitalis), Renaldo Webb (PetPlate), and Rachel Sheppard (Mars Petcare) to discuss pitching the right investors, the importance of building a solid network, and scaling successfully. 2️⃣ Happy Hour with Brand Friends We connected with friends from Arch Pet Food, Betterbone, The Kind Pet, and Wash Bar at an unforgettable happy hour! 3️⃣ The Grooming Booths Creativity was on full display at the grooming booths! The colorful and creative styles added a fun (and quirky) vibe- definitely a highlight of the event. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity to connect with brands in this vibrant industry 🐾

Lunr wouldn't be Lunr without Erin Wall, and we're always thrilled when our team has a chance to reset! ⭐️
Last week, I took my first fully detached family vacation since we launched Lunr 3 years ago, and it was a game-changer 🌞. I can't say enough about this incredible team we are building—they kept everything running smoothly, from hitting up trade shows and handling wires to managing reporting and keeping the office music on point 🎶 Moments like these make me realize how fortunate I am to work with such a capable and passionate group. Here’s to many more years of growth, success, and maybe a few more vacations! 🚀 Dace Graham Jackie Bae Carly Uhlig Jack Richie

We recently wrapped up the Lunr Investor + Retail Summit, where some of the industry's brightest minds gathered to discuss what’s next for retail. If you couldn’t make it, here’s a quick recap of our key takeaways from the summit: - Social media is now the #1 retail discovery platform: Consumers are increasingly finding new products through social media, with TikTok leading the charge. Brands need to be creative and active on these platforms to capture attention and drive sales. - Brands must differentiate on multiple fronts to stand out: With so much competition, it’s not just about having a great product. Successful brands are those that innovate, tell compelling stories, and stay present across different channels. - The consumer journey is more complex than ever: Today’s consumers are taking their time before making a purchase, so it’s essential to engage them at every touchpoint along the way. - CPG brands must master data analytics to drive growth: Data isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the key to optimizing everything from what products you stock to how you market them, ensuring you meet consumer demands head-on. - Long-term success requires strategic partnerships: Although we’d love to offer a step-by-step guide to retail success, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why it’s crucial for brands to stay nimble and data-driven while also having the right strategic partners who can provide specific guidance when needed. If you’re interested in exploring more, you can read the full recap here: https://lnkd.in/gngHwR3B. Thanks again to everyone who made this event a success, and keep an eye out for more events from us in the future!
