San Diego pilot · Creator-powered retail
Small brands.
Big potential.

In development. First location and voting dates to be announced.
The first chapter
Local talent. Real shelves.

↗Community-led selection
↗Clear terms before stocking
From pitch to pickup
Who deserves
the next drop?
A vending machine can be more than a convenience stop. It can be a discovery point for the brands being built around you.
Follow the pilot- 01
Creators make their pitch
Independent brands share their story and a physical product. We review fit, packaging, and readiness for the pilot.
- 02
The community has a say
Planned product voting lets you champion the drops you want to see. Final stocking also depends on product suitability and agreed terms.
- 03
The winning drop goes live
Selected creators promote their launch. Customers discover and purchase their products at the pilot machine once it opens.
For independent brands
Test physical retail.
Not a whole storefront.
Building a beauty line, a collectible, or a clothing brand? The pilot is designed to help local creators test a new sales channel without opening their own shop.
