Unless

Shaping the Future of Venture Capital with Unless

Partnership with Unless to spark a New Industrial Revolution, driving transformative change in industrial systems and empowering entrepreneurs to shape a sustainable future.

Catalyzing the New Industrial Revolution.

We are living in a moment of profound transition—a generational inflection point. Unless was founded to lead this transformation, championing industrial entrepreneurs as they confront humanity’s most pressing challenges: from climate change to supply chain resilience to the future of work.

The mission was bold.
And the brand needed to match this ambition.

The Challenge

Unless and Merit teamed up to create a future-forward identity that captured Unless’s vision for transformational innovation, their commitment to meaningful partnerships, and their leadership within the venture capital ecosystem.

Our Approach

To translate Unless’s ethos into a cohesive brand, we began by zeroing in on a single powerful idea: The Inflection Point. This concept embodies the transformational moments that define societal and industrial progress—exactly where Unless thrives.

Brand Strategy

Through in-depth discovery, we honed the essence of Unless, building a strategy rooted in their mission to empower entrepreneurs and catalyze generational impact. The Inflection Point emerged as a central narrative, setting the tone for a brand that is both visionary and action-oriented.
