The Brand Challenge

Great brands can't scale at retail.

Independent brands are critically under-resourced beyond design, development, and manufacturing. Selling at scale is out of scope and traditional distribution channels are hard to access and costly.

The Retail Challenge

Retail can't source great brands at scale.

Independent bike shops are where cyclists discover new brands. Shops are squeezed by big brands for bigger orders, tighter inventory, and shrinking margins leaving little room for indie products.

The Musette Supply Co.
fixes both.

A cooperative platform that connects independent brands and independent retailers outside traditional distribution giving brands retail access at scale, and giving shops the products their customers are looking for.
