Capital Allocation · Retention

Retention Infrastructure

Increases repeat purchase, loyalty, and lifetime value.

The problem

What this category exists to solve.

The business acquires customers well but does not systematically bring them back. Lifetime value is left on the table.

Signals

  • Repeat rate is unmeasured or under 20%
  • No structured post-purchase communication
  • Referrals happen but are not tracked

Investments

Typical infrastructure Uru builds inside this category.

  • Repeat-purchase programs and reminders
  • Loyalty, membership, and subscription mechanics
  • Post-purchase communication systems
  • Referral flywheel measurement

Underwriting note

Retention is underwritten as part of a specific constraint, not as a service line.

Uru does not sell retention as a package. Investment inside this category is only made when the underwriting review identifies it as the highest-return constraint for the Portfolio Company.
