Post by Future Back Ventures by Bain & Company

Today, we’re excited to announce our investment in Handshake, founded by Bain & Company alumni Alex Lindsay and Peter Welch. Handshake is building an AI-native operating system that helps retailers, wholesalers, and suppliers create, track, and execute commercial agreements in one transparent platform. The behind-the-scenes process of getting a product onto retail shelves is far more complex than many people realize. Bain & Company has worked across the retail and supplier ecosystem for decades, giving us a deep understanding of the day-to-day complexity these businesses navigate. At FBV we believe technology can play a major role in simplifying and streamlining these workflows for retailers and suppliers alike. That’s why we’re delighted to be part of Handshake’s $3.2M fundraise alongside Triple Point Ventures and Octopus Ventures. Huge congratulations to Alex, Peter, and the entire Handshake team. We’re excited to see what comes next 🚀
