Leggari: epoxy kits, a 15,000-graduate academy, and Sam's own garage story 5:18 from 24:47 in the recording Creator Fund call, Oct 15 2026 (Riverside)

Caroline's pick (transcript misheard the company name as 'Legory' -- it's Leggari, co-founded by Tim Krumland and Tylor Svangren after a countertop-coating video they posted went viral). Three business lines: direct-to-consumer epoxy/concrete-overlay kits for floors, countertops, and walls; Leggari Academy, a paid training and certification program for contractors that has graduated over 15,000 people since launch; and a looser 'pro' mentorship tier for people further along. Eddie connected it to an earlier pitch about Blacktail Studio's proprietary wood finisher -- a pattern of chemical/finish specialists building real IP at a high level. Sam gave a live first-person data point: he wanted to epoxy his garage floor at his Jackson Hole home and didn't, because it was surprisingly expensive -- direct validation of real consumer demand and price friction in exactly this category.

Things We Like

Three-line flywheel again -- DTC product, a paid certification/training academy (15,000+ graduates is real proof of demand beyond DIYers), and a mentorship upsell
Fits the same 'high-end garage/home upgrade' white space Sam independently argued is underserved later on the same call (no real 'designer' exists for garages/workshops the way one exists for living rooms)
Direct personal validation: Sam tried to buy this exact service for his own home and found it too expensive -- real price elasticity/demand signal, not just a content thesis
Academy model (training + certification) scales differently than the DTC kit business and may be the more interesting piece to underwrite

Key Questions

Is the real wedge the DTC kit business or the Academy/certification business -- they likely deserve different multiples and different diligence
How much of the customer base is contractors (via Academy) vs. DIY homeowners (via kits), and which is growing faster
Eddie flagged this as adjacent to a broader 'who owns high-end garage/workshop upgrades' white space -- worth scoping how big the category really is before going deep on one player

“There's gotta be someone else who's doing that at a crazy high level... on the chemical side. Is this like their blend that they make in house?”Eddie
“I wanted to epoxy the floor and ended up not doing it 'cause it like really expensive. But I love the idea of epoxying stuff”Sam
