Awesome to see so many beauty and wellness leaders being recognized at the 2024 Beacon Awards! And a big congrats to the NewBound Venture Capital team on their nomination for outstanding contributions in the Seed + Small Growth Investor category.

Financing CPG growth isn’t one-size-fits-all. While Lunr Capital helps with inventory financing, brands often need additional funding for areas like innovation and marketing. The key is finding a financing partner that supports your overall strategy and business goals. Hear from our very own Jackie Bae about how Lunr collaborates with brands to help drive growth, acting as one of the many tools in their financial toolkit on the Scaling Emerging Beauty Podcast. 📖 Read more from the interview on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gJx-EQFv 🎙️ Listen to the full podcast episode: https://lnkd.in/gweMCgUw #cpg #beauty #retail
