Dew of the Gods Fills Large PO With Clearco Funding
HigherDOSE, the fast-growing DTC wellness brand, used Clearco’s funding and ecommerce insights to scale demand, expand its product line, and accelerate growth—all without giving up equity.
“Clearco’s dashboards, KPIs, and data, have been extremely useful for me in growing the business. They’ve given me a big leg up in terms of coming up to speed with the different e-commerce metrics to focus on”
– Katie Kaps,
Co-Founder & Co-CEO of HigherDOSE
The Challenge
Pivoting to DTC & Scaling Rapid Demand
HigherDOSE initially built momentum through infrared sauna locations in New York City, quickly becoming a sought-after wellness destination with celebrity customers and partnerships with brands like Equinox.
But after launching their infrared sauna blanket, the team saw an even bigger opportunity: bringing the wellness experience directly into customers’ homes.
As soon as paid advertising campaigns launched, demand for the sauna blanket surged by 300%. To capitalize on that momentum, HigherDOSE needed capital to rapidly scale both marketing and inventory, while transitioning fully into a DTC business model.
The Solution
Revenue-Based Financing for DTC Growth
Having already raised equity, HigherDOSE’s Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Katie Kaps, felt it was time to explore a capital source that better suited their new DTC strategy. Katie was drawn to Clearco’s revenue-based financing model, streamlined approval process, and flexible funding options.
Beyond funding, Katie also relies heavily on Clearco’s dashboards and KPI tools to benchmark performance and identify growth opportunities.
“Clearco’s dashboards, KPIs, and data have been extremely useful for me in growing the business. They’ve given me a big leg up in terms of coming up to speed with the different ecommerce metrics to focus on,” says Katie.
The Results
Scaling Beyond Borders
Clearco funding allowed HigherDOSE to continue investing confidently in both inventory and customer acquisition during its transition to a DTC-first model. With repeated funding top-ups from Clearco and their KPI tools, Katie and her team have been able to scale globally through a combination of innovative products, data-driven growth, and flexible ecommerce funding.
