From trade floors to brands
SRB Traders and SRB Foods — cash-flow businesses with a path from distribution to brand.
Not every check has to look like a startup. Some of the cleanest compounding sits in businesses that already move product, cash, and relationships every day.
SRB Traders and SRB Foods live in that world: real counterparties, inventory discipline, and a path from trade into brand.
Why trade first
Trade teaches demand before you invent a story about demand. When you know who buys, at what price, and how often, building a brand is an extension of knowledge — not a leap of faith.
SRB Foods is the next chapter: take distribution strength and put a name, quality bar, and margin structure on top. SRB Traders remains the engine that keeps the system liquid.
In an angel portfolio, these holdings are ballast. They generate operating truth while higher-variance technology bets are still finding their shape.
