Door Two · The deeper partnership

Everything in Door One, plus Adam and Matt in your corner.

This is the one we only offer when we think the business is genuinely worth it. Not a bigger retainer. Our outcome tied to yours, and you still call every shot.

Pure advisory across every domain, from Adam and Matt directly. Our team executes the growth services. You own the company, full stop. We never take a board seat. We arm you and get out of your way.

What you actually get

Five things only Door Two gives you

The agentic edge

Knowing what the data means, and being able to build on it fast.

First, in plain terms, because this gets buzzwordy fast. The AI you've used answers questions when you ask it. What we build are agents: software that does the work itself, around the clock, with no one driving. It watches your market, pulls the data, spots what matters and acts. Not a tool you log into, a worker that never sleeps. For a two-person company this is the whole point: you scale without hiring a team and watching your costs balloon. The work gets done, the headcount doesn't. This site was built in an afternoon, working software on your real data.

Just some ideas of where we'd point it
  • Distributor intelligence: map every US hobby shop, distributor and retail buyer worth approaching, with the warm angle and the terms to expect, so wholesale isn't cold guesswork.
  • Outreach automation: agents that find and first-touch the right wholesale accounts, churches and partners at volume, so nobody's hand-building lead lists.
  • Negotiation automation: tooling that benchmarks and drafts your supplier and distributor terms, so you walk into every deal knowing the number to hold.
  • A copycat radar that catches every new Christian-card brand the day it launches, so you out-execute instead of finding out late.
  • A live tracker on your own cards: resale prices, sell-through, and which chase cards are moving, so you see your pricing power in real time.
  • A demand and print-run model so the next reorder is a planned move against real signal, not a gamble against your own cash.
  • One view of everything: Shopify, eBay, ads and email pulled into a single dashboard, with the odd signals surfaced for you 24/7.
  • The church channel, run at scale: finding, onboarding and tracking congregation partners without it eating a full-time hire.

None of this is theoretical. We run our own agency on it, Jumbo, the system behind this page, replaced a six-person reporting team. We've stood up benches that ingest tens of thousands of posts, scrape every competitor's reviews and score new sites by simulation, in weeks, not the months and budget a specialist team needs. The combination almost nobody has is deep domain knowledge and the ability to build, fast, and the right call at the right moment is worth more than the whole engagement. We've saved founders half a million dollars in a single conversation.

Direct principal advisory

Adam and Matt, directly

The two of us, across all fifteen domains that make an e-commerce business work, including the ones no agency touches: structure, IP, supply, the exit. Not a junior with a template. The kind of offhand call that saves you half a million before you make the mistake. That is what being in the same building as us actually buys you.

The network

Doors we can open

Twelve years of operators, platform partners and investors who take our call. Capital, a 3PL that won't burn you, the right IP lawyer, a buyer one day. The relationships a founder spends years earning cold, you would have from week one.

The track record

We've already run this

60-plus brands, over $1B in revenue supported, brands taken from where you are now to real scale. We have hit the failure modes ahead of you and know which moves actually work, so you skip the expensive lessons instead of paying for them.

Skin in the game

We only win if you win

Under Door Two we take a slice of the company, so your upside is our upside, directly. That is an alignment no retainer can carry: we are not just helping Sacred Legacy grow, we own a piece of where it lands. It pulls every call we make out to the long run, and it is the whole reason this door exists.

How it would work

We back ourselves first. You decide later.

We don't ask you to sign your company over to people you just met. Here is the actual shape of it.

  1. The full engagement starts on day one.The complete service set from Elephant Room, Adam and Matt's advisory, and the agentic tooling built for you. The real thing, on us, for around three months. A dating period, not a measured trial.
  2. What we put in.Elephant Room services at our cost, the two of us across all fifteen domains, the tools we build, and our network. If marketing capital is the bottleneck, we can structure a line of credit, personally backed by us, so the spend isn't your gamble.
  3. You keep what we build.Every tool we stand up for Sacred Legacy, outside of Jumbo and our core IP, is yours. If we don't end up partnering, you settle its hard cost and we hand it over. No hostage-taking, no lock-in.
  4. Then we make it real.We don't wait until the end to commit. Once both sides know this is worth it, we sign while we're still in it: a straight equity slice, agreed on a handshake first, then papered. If it never gets to a clear yes, you walk away owning everything you came in with, plus everything we built.

It rests on one question: is Sacred Legacy worth meaningfully more with us than without us? If that's a clear yes on both sides, the number is the easy part. This can't be transactional, and it won't be. You keep total control: we don't ask for a director's seat, a vote, or any say in how you run the company. We're a resource you reach for, intelligence and judgement on a purely advisory basis, plus the agentic tooling to scale without hiring. Never a boss you answer to.

Trust, fast

The questions you should be asking us. Or anyone.

Two meetings in, you don't know us and we don't know you. The fastest way through that is putting the hard questions on the table first. So here are the ones we'd want you asking, of us, or of anyone you'd let this close to your company. We would rather hand you the list than have you wonder.

Ask us
Why us, and why now
  • You're fronting three months of work, at your own cost, with no equity guaranteed. What's actually in it for you, and what do you get if we don't convert?
  • Of all the founders you could back, why us and why Bible cards? And what happens to your interest when the numbers get hard?
The equity
  • How do you arrive at the equity slice, and what's the underlying thinking?
  • Why should this be equity at all, and not just a retainer or a success fee?
  • If you came in today, what would you want to address on the business immediately?
  • Once you hold a slice, what are we still getting from you in year three, versus what was a one-time setup?
  • If you stop adding value, what happens to your stake? Is there a buy-back or claw-back, or do you keep it regardless?
If it doesn't work
  • Say month three, the trial isn't working and one of us wants out. What does the unwind look like, who keeps what, and have you ever ended one of these badly?
  • Before any equity converts, what exactly are we on the hook for if we say no at the end? Walk us through the worst case for us.
  • You say we keep the tooling you build. What transfers if we part ways, where is that written, and does any of it stop working without you?
Attention, and conflicts
  • How many other things are you two running, and where do we sit when something urgent hits all of them at once?
  • Is there any client or interest of yours that could ever conflict with ours?
  • If we ran a credit and background check on Elephant Room and on the two of you, what would come up? Court records, criminal history, debts, insolvencies, anything we should hear from you first.
And what we'd ask you
The real numbers
  • Can we see Shopify Payouts, the ad account, and the books, not just the Reports tab? We want the true payment fees, real ROAS and actual COGS.
  • June was a quiet trough between drops. What's the honest between-drops baseline, and what does the next drop need to do?
  • What's your landed cost on US sales, tariff included? Is it in your margin today, or not yet?
The cap table and the IP
  • Who owns what today, is anyone off the cap table, and is there any debt or prior raise we'd be inheriting?
  • Is Sacred Legacy trademarked yet, and who owns the artwork and the anti-counterfeit tech: the company, or one of you?
The two of you
  • It's a two-person business, six months old. If one of you stepped back tomorrow, what breaks?
  • If we ran a credit and background check on Sacred Legacy and on the two of you, what would come up? Court records, criminal history, debts, insolvencies, anything that touches the business.
