Retail footprint MakersKit has a broad distribution network spanning over 6,000 retail locations across the US, Canada, Australia and Japan, presenting a scalable cross-border sales opportunity for partnerships with mass-market retailers, toy chains, and educational stores.

Small team, outsized reach With a lean team and sub-$1M revenue, there is potential for channel partnerships, private label deals, or white-label DIY kits to accelerate growth without heavy internal overhead.

Ecommerce and ads Existing tech stack includes Shopify and major ad platforms (AppNexus, Criteo, Google Fonts API), indicating readiness for direct-to-consumer campaigns and performance marketing collaborations to boost online sales.

Funding and growth Current funding of $1.6M paired with nascent revenue suggests opportunity for strategic investors or accelerators to support expanding product lines, international distribution, or licensing deals.

Educational and lifestyle appeal As a leading DIY brand with educational distribution, there is potential to partner on subscription boxes, curriculum-aligned kits, or collaboration with brands seeking hands-on learning experiences for kids and teens.
