The reason I am the lead investor on this round is not because of a deck. It is because of what we found when we did the work. Unlike most funds that wait to get pitched, AWP hunts founders and builds with them. I found Billie on TikTok, watching her solve a real problem for herself, and by herself, before she even knew who we were. We initially started our relationship with advice, guiding Repaint through some of those typical start-up speed bumps, and because Billie is the kind of founder who hears hard feedback, acts on it, and comes out stronger, we wrote the check. Repaint Studios is woman-owned, WBE-certified, patented, and already working with your favorite hardware and home improvement stores (Lowe's, Ace Hardware, etc.). More importantly, it is one of those "why did it take us until 20XX to have this" categories. The paint roller and tray were invented in 1940. The basic design has not changed in 85 years. Repaint is the first real iteration, and once a household uses it, the plastic version is over. Back this round if you want to own a piece of the next household name in home improvement.
