Peter Harris
Founding Partner at University Growth Fund, an early and growth-focused venture fund with $90M AUM. Over the last 15 years I've invested in over 100 private companies including OpenAI, Carta, Airbnb, Spotify, Instructure, Workfront, Postmates, & Wefunder.
Strengths
says, "The team is incredible, with amazing experience and I love the traction they've achieved to prove their software driven manufacturing approach can work!"
Advice
says, "I'm interested to see how they scale beyond their current products and hope they are able to figure out how to manufacture higher-end, more complex products that allow them to compete better with cheaper products from overseas. America is actually very good at complex manufacturing and their approach could be a great way to further that advantage."

What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $100,000 this round
Buttonsmith is an established business that's already proven all the pieces of its model -- a rarity in the startup world. They're a real company with a solid history of real products, real customers, and real profits -- and a real plan for growth. Their approach integrates the latest in IT, design, manufacturing, and delivery to build a limitless range of products at high speed and low cost, with a high degree of customer control and very little waste. The past 18 months have shown the strength of their process, enabling them to pivot on a dime and keep thriving in one of the most uncertain eras in recent history. COVID also revealed deep weaknesses in the US manufacturing sector -- weaknesses for which the Buttonsmith model appears to offer essential solutions. Investment in this round will enable the company to scale up to the next level, applying their innovative process to more products, in the service of an even larger pool of customers. In the short run, we're investing because we see Buttonsmith as a low-risk investment. In the long run, we recognize its potential to become an early mover leading America towards a much-needed manufacturing renaissance. We invite you to join us in voting your values with your investment dollars, and helping Buttonsmith create something truly new and revolutionary in the empty space where America's manufacturing dominance once stood.
