EightOneEight Ventures LLC connects brands with retailers and resellers through direct, documented sourcing relationships — no gray-market inventory, no unanswered questions.
EightOneEight Ventures LLC is a wholesale distribution company built on direct relationships with brand partners. We're not a marketplace reseller — we work directly with manufacturers and brand owners to source authentic inventory, backed by real invoicing and documentation, for retailers and resellers who need a trustworthy supply partner.
Based in California and fully registered with the state, we're structured to scale — starting as a multi-category general merchandise distributor and expanding into focused verticals as our brand partnerships grow.
We view every brand relationship as long-term. Rather than chasing one-off closeout deals, we're building a small, well-documented network of accounts that can grow in volume and trust over time.
Formed as a California LLC with an active EIN and state seller's permit — a real, accountable business entity, not a side hustle.
We prioritize purchasing directly from brands and their authorized distributors, so every partner receives inventory with a clean paper trail.
We're establishing long-term supply relationships, not one-off transactions — pricing and terms scale as volume grows.
Starting broad across general merchandise lets us find the right long-term category fit rather than overcommitting early.
A straightforward process designed to be low-friction for brands while keeping every order documented.
We reach out (or you do) to discuss fit, categories, and general terms.
We share our LLC registration, EIN, and California seller's permit so you can confirm we're a legitimate, accountable buyer.
We place an initial order at whatever minimum makes sense to start the relationship.
As trust and order history build, we scale volume and revisit pricing and terms together.
We'd love to hear from you — whether you're a brand looking for a distribution partner or have a question about our business.
