Best Made Company · bestmadeco.com · Same buyer and same job to be done: a design-literate consumer buying a premium, durable physical object as a gift or personal possession, and Craighill's founder led product development there before founding Craighill.[1][9]

Art of Play · artofplay.com · Named together in the Wavelinks puzzle crowdfunding campaign, which the two companies described as one shared obsession with creating beautiful objects that evoke wonder, so the same buyer weighing a desk puzzle would compare them.[8]
