Featured Impact Story

Impact Story

CircleUp, a California-based financial technology company

One of CIM’s clients is CircleUp, a California-based financial technology company focused on a data-driven approach to funding consumer packaged goods companies. CIM created an exclusive partnership with CircleUp to expand its funding solutions for small businesses beyond equity and start providing a short duration accounts receivable backed loan at a competitively lower cost of capital for its borrowers. This approach is innovative in the US small business lending market and brings added benefits to both borrowers and investors. Pop & Bottle, founded by Blair Fletcher and Jash Mehta, is one of the many businesses that has benefited from CircleUp. Pop & Bottle manufactures plant-rich ready to drink superfood lattes. Consumers are drawn to the creamy smooth texture and the all-natural organic ingredients including almonds, dates, turmeric, and cacao. With the help of CircleUp financing, Pop & Bottle is ideally positioned to capitalize on its current momentum and scale its distribution footprint.
