CONSULTING
Launch with 20 years of hindsight.
Launching a CPG brand, expanding into the US market, or opening a new brick and mortar space is not just about a great product. It is about avoiding the expensive mistakes. The Goldenscope Partners team gives founders direct access to two decades of operator experience, plus a warm network of buyers, distributors, and retailers built over 20 years on the ground.
What you walk away with
- An honest read on launch readiness
- The single biggest move to make next
- Wholesale margin and pricing sanity check
- Warm introductions when there is a real fit
WHY THIS WORKS
Operator experience, not slide decks.
We have built, sold, and scaled brands. Our team answers founder questions with what actually worked, what burned cash, and what we wish someone had told us before we wrote the check.
Operators, not theorists
Every advisor on the team has built, sold, or scaled real brands. We answer with what worked and what burned, not what a deck says.
Warm doors, not cold lists
Our distributor and retailer relationships are 20 years deep. When we make an introduction, the buyer takes the call.
Tech that compounds the work
Scope OS captures every conversation, sample, and POS conversion so the team you hire today keeps paying dividends a year from now.
WHO WE HELP
Founders at the moment that matters.
- CPG founders preparing for retail launch
- Brands expanding into the US market
- Operators opening a new brick and mortar space
- Established brands entering a new region
HOW WE WORK
Real sales, verified, not promised.
01
Retail and wholesale readiness
Our team audits packaging, pricing, margin, and shelf fit so your first buyer meeting is the one that lands, not the one that teaches you what to fix.
02
Distributor and operator introductions
When there is genuine fit, we make warm introductions to vetted distributors, regional retailers, and food service operators inside our 20 year network.
03
Velocity and POS attribution
Scope OS wires verified sell through into Toast, Square, Uber Eats, and GrubHub so every dollar of marketing maps to a real transaction, not a vanity metric.
04
Operator coaching, in your ear
Weekly check ins and voice driven workflows keep founders moving between buyer calls, sample drops, and follow ups without losing their week to a dashboard.

THE TEAM
Goldenscope Partners, led by operators.
You work with a small senior team of operators who have launched, scaled, and exited their own brands. We pair that experience with vetted specialists across packaging, regulatory, distribution, and digital marketing, so you are never paying a generalist to learn on your dime.
The team is led by Patrick Pilewski, Founder and CEO of Goldenscope Partners and co founder of 78 Brand and Lobi Space. The rest of the bench brings the same operator first standard to every engagement.
