About us
CSC Generation is the AI-native holding company re-engineering omni-channel retail. We acquire iconic brands and transform them with Genesis—our operating platform unifying a Data Fabric, Automation Engine, proprietary tools, and shared services—to modernize operations, elevate customer experience, and expand margins. With $1B+ in revenue across 13 brands, our portfolio includes Sur La Table, Backcountry, One Kings Lane, and more—premier home and outdoor banners that double as real-world innovation hubs. CSC Generation continues to grow through M&A, revitalizing companies with strong brand recognition and loyal customers. We’re building the next-generation technology conglomerate where proprietary AI is the operating system. We have offices in Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Toronto. Our VC investors include Altos Ventures, Maveron, and Khosla Ventures. We’re always looking for exceptional builders, operators, and technologists to join us.
