Primary sector

"The x is algebraic. It can be anything. That is how we think about what a startup can become."

dot.x

Vintxge Golf was co-founded in 2022 and built entirely in-house. Brand identity, e-commerce, product development, photography, supplier relationships, brand events and international distribution, all developed without external funding or agency support.

dot.x was founded to make that experience available to other early stage businesses. The advice is grounded in decisions that have actually been made, not theory.
