For founders
The decisions wait on you. Third Wave connects founders building physical and consumer product brands with peers, operators and creative specialists.

What a founder day actually feels like
- You are the bottleneck: decisions queue up because only you can unblock them, and the day runs out.
- Classic ops never stopped: product, manufacturing, quality control, brand, logistics, financing stock.
- AI is both opportunity and threat, and you are bombarded by vendors pitching specific solutions.
- You cannot tell yet which solution is right for your business, which is theatre, and what to ignore.
Shared product-brand experience
Product brands share questions about stock, channels and cash. E-commerce is one subject within the wider Third Wave network, alongside product, design and everyday operations.
- Stock and lead times make forecast and merchandising agents a cash decision, not a demo.
- Tariffs and border rules can move faster than production cycles. Peers who live it beat frameworks.
- Channels and discovery, including agents choosing for customers, rewrite how people find your brand.
Peer rooms matched to your company size
Company membership is £250–£450/month plus VAT, with Emerging, Growth and Established plans based on annual turnover. Choose the band that fits your company so we can connect you with relevant peers.
Rooms are matched by company size. Bench Operators never receive member contact details.
