I’m thrilled to announce Lantern’s $7M seed round led by Primary Venture Partners and Pear VC.

We started Lantern with a clear thesis. Supply chains run our lives. Wholesale distribution orchestrates the messy middle of our entire supply chain. It’s the central node.

This $9T market is the backbone of our entire economy, powered by millions of hard working men & women. They get no credit, but make our entire world go round.

Supercharging distribution is the highest leverage thing we can do to improve the lives of every person on the planet.

This job is so fun. We get to work with the best customers in the world. Over the past six months, we’ve generated millions in revenue. Sales have tripled since we closed the round.

But this is just the beginning. With this capital, we’re launching more products. We’re hiring more engineers. We’re growing even faster. More homes will get built, more shelves will get stocked, more jobs will be created.

To my co-founders: You guys are my brothers. I can’t believe we get to do this every day.

To our team: Thank you for believing in Lantern. Thank you for sacrificing. You are the heart and soul of this company.

To our customers: Thank you for trusting us with your most important decisions. Everything we do is to honor you and your craft. You guys are heroes.

To our investors: Thank you for sharing our vision. You are the oxygen of Lantern. We couldn’t do this without you.

We’re in the first inning. Time to change the world.

If you want to change the world with us, we’re hiring! We’re looking for that rare combination of elite talent, boundless ambition, and intense kindness.
