Build something
worth
talking about.

Everything we sell, we have already done. Vintxge Golf was built from nothing. Brand, website, product, photography, events, pro shop placement, tour sponsorship, international reach. All of it by two people. That process is what dot.x offers you.

Everything dot.x offers, we have already done ourselves. Vintxge Golf was built from nothing. Self-funded, no external support, no agency. We designed the brand, built the website, shot the photography, developed the products, placed them in pro shops, sponsored a tour professional, ran brand events and shipped to customers across 10 plus countries. Craig and Matthew did all of it.

That process is what dot.x sells. Our focus is the sports startup space, especially golf, but we work with early stage founders across sectors who need people that have genuinely been where they are going.

Matthew Lynas (Founder and Director) leads strategy, commercial operations and client development. Craig Leith (Co-Founder and Lead Consultant) leads creative, design and digital delivery. dot.x operates under Acqua Utilities Media Ltd.

"The x is algebraic. It can be anything. That is how we think about what a startup can become."

dot.x

Vintxge Golf was co-founded in 2022. Craig built the brand identity and website. Matthew ran operations, finance and strategy. Neither had done it before. They built something real. Stocked in pro shops, worn on tour, shipped worldwide, with a community that keeps growing.

When you work with dot.x, you are not getting advice from people who have read about building a brand. You are getting it from the people who did it.

01 Vintxge Golf
Brand Identity E-Commerce Members Club Content & Social Photography
View

We co-founded Vintxge Golf in 2022 — built from nothing. Brand identity, Shopify e-commerce, product development, photography, supplier partnerships, and a content strategy that grew a real international community.

Craig led creative and the website. Matthew led operations, finance and strategy. Between them — brand guidelines, product launches, a private VX Members Club, multi-currency e-commerce, and a social presence across four platforms.

Self-funded. No agency. No shortcuts.
