Hypothetical incubator - I will not promote The long-term strategy for my business involves incubating brands which will remain in the company as subsidiaries. We’re working on a regenerative model of steward ownership, where financial upside and operational control can be decoupled. The incubator (CPG) will bring brands in after they’ve independently arrived at a specific gap in the market and their initial R&D is done.
