Your growth is locked up
in cardboard boxes.

Every dollar of inventory is a dollar you can't spend on customer acquisition. We fund the entire cycle — deposit through sell‑through — so you repay only as the product actually sells.

— THE PROBLEM

Growth eats cash
and your inventory
eats it first.

Every PO is cash sealed in a box. The deposit is due before the product ships, the balance is due before it lands, and you wait months for it to sell through. Meanwhile your ad budget waits in line behind cardboard.

~60+ days

Lead time. From the day you wire the deposit until inventory hits the warehouse.

~120+ days

Sell-through. From the day product lands until the last unit is sold.

~180+ days

Cash sealed up. Five months of working capital you can't deploy on customer acquisition or distributions.

— HOW IT WORKS

Repayment that matches your inventory cycle — not a calendar.

We fund the full invoice on day zero. You don't pay anything until the product lands. From there, we take a small percentage of daily net sales until we're repaid. If sales come in slower than projected, the IRR comes out of our return, not yours.

Unlock Growth

Match Cycles

Cash Friendly Payments

Capture all your growth

Stockouts kill momentum. Too little capital forces choices between inventory and acquisition. We provide the capital you need to capture all your demand

— WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

Every other capital option is fighting your cycle.

vs Equity

vs Asset Based Loans

vs Factoring

vs Long Term Loans

vs MCA's & Other Short Term Debt

THEM

Equity

- Big dilution to fund a temporary problem

- Months of fundraising, lawyers, and BOD management

- Caps upside on the part of the business you control

- Misaligned: equity is for risk capital, not inventory
