Making connections from the kitchen

At Our Place, co-founders Shiza Shahid and Amir Tehrani saw a gap in the $20B kitchenware market for cookware that fit small kitchens and looked good on social media. But they also saw an opportunity to celebrate the diverse cultures and cuisines that make up communities all across America. The Always Pan, their flagship product, replaces eight items in consumers' kitchens, making it easier than ever to cook and connect with others.

By setting up manufacturing at a woman-owned factory in China and designing sustainable packaging, Our Place is not only creating a high-quality product, but they're also making a positive impact on the world. Sage Hill Investors is proud to support a brand that is both multifunctional and multicultural.

Elevating the conversation around rum

Ten To One is more than a rum brand. It's a celebration of the vibrant Caribbean culture and the diverse flavors that make it unique.

Founder Marc Farrell's passion for tradition, innovation, and community has led him to create a whiskey lover's rum that blends different distillation methods, terroirs, and profiles in every sip. At Sage Hill Investors, we were moved by Farrell's commitment to dispelling stereotypes and promoting authentic Caribbean culture. Ten To One's name, bottle, logo, design, storytelling, and partnerships all reflect the brand's contemporary and inclusive approach to rum-making. We're proud to be a part of Ten To One's journey as it reinvents the rum category and sets a new standard for cultural appreciation.
