Dear Distributors,
Our story began at Stanford, where we set out to study the distribution industry. What started as a research project turned into hundreds of conversations with distributors across the country.
Somewhere along the way, we fell in love with distribution - with the people, the work, and the purpose.
We realized just how much of our world depends on you. Every building, every home, every community relies on distributors to keep things running. You are the quiet force behind everything we touch - the lifeblood of our economy.
We come from families and towns that live by your values: hard work, humility, and pride in a job well done. Those values shaped us, and now they drive us. We roll up our sleeves and get it done. No shortcuts. No excuses.
We're dedicating our careers to unlocking your full potential. Lantern is our way of saying thank you - by building tools worthy of the work you do every day.
We're creating Lantern to serve you. To honor your craft. To help you win. This will be the greatest work of our lives. And we can't wait to build it with you.
With respect and admiration,
