XRC Ventures

A New York accelerator and fund focused on retail, consumer goods, and the supply chains behind them.

Program Type
Sector Accelerator & Fund
Headquarters
New York, New York
Focus
Retail, Consumer & Supply Chain

Overview

XRC Ventures, formerly XRC Labs, works exclusively with companies serving retail and consumer goods — brands, store technology, supply chain, and increasingly sustainability in those sectors.

Its value rests on corporate access: the programme's partners are major retailers and consumer goods companies that participate as mentors and potential customers.

Program Structure

  • Cohort programme with investment in exchange for equity
  • Corporate partners drawn from retail and consumer goods
  • Structured pilot introductions with those partners
  • Mentorship from category operators rather than generalists
  • Follow-on investment through affiliated funds

What They Look For

  • Companies selling into retail or consumer goods businesses
  • Products ready for a pilot with a large retailer
  • Founders with category experience
  • Supply chain, store technology, and sustainability solutions
  • Consumer brands with defensible positioning
Notable Portfolio

Companies they've backed.

Alumni work across retail technology, direct-to-consumer brands, supply chain software, and materials innovation for apparel.

The programme's pilot introductions are the practical differentiator — retail procurement is notoriously difficult to enter cold.
