The cornerstone of human nutrition is protein, and the KOS mission begins there. We produce a vegan, plant-based protein additive. This is a proprietary formulation we mix in small, artisanal batches in our own lab. You won’t find KOS in your local grocery hangar, huge plastic tubs of weird powder stacked into impulse-buy pyramids. We want to get personal, have a conversation. We offer a small-batch, boutique, totally plant-based protein product made out of the good stuff that springs from the soil. Transparent ingredients transparently sourced. Our mad scientists are farmers. KOS Naturals, LLC

Pixelfy is a URL shortener, which embeds a retargeting pixel into each link that you shorten. You can then retarget to people who clicked on your link, on Facebook, Twitter, Google, and LinkedIn Ads. There are several reasons why this can be beneficial, the key reason is that you’re able to retarget people, even though you’re sharing external content.

We started CommerceLabs with a simple bet: that a small, sharp team could out-operate bigger, slower competitors in the health consumables space. That bet paid off. Today we own and operate three health brands generating $45M+ in annual sales across Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Meta — managed by 40 people across four continents, powered by proprietary AI tools we built ourselves. We dont work with agencies. We dont outsource our thinking. We hire exceptional people, give them real ownership, and get out of their way. Our team is remote-first and globally distributed — with an biennial in-person retreat that brings everyone together from around the world. We invest in our people because the quality of our team is the only competitive advantage that actually compounds. If youre a performance marketer, engineer, operator, or analyst whos tired of being underutilized — CommerceLabs was built for you. High bar. Real scale. No hand-holding.
