Slate Milk's Triple-Digit Growth with Rolling Funding
As Park & Fifth expanded their line of apparel beyond bridalwear, Clearco provided both capital and strategic partner connections that helped the team scale operations and deliver a better customer experience.
“We’re building a brand that allows you to feel special, with your sister, best friend or your mom right by you. Having the world shift to being mostly virtual because of the pandemic, Clearco was just something that made sense”
– Brooke Johansen,
Co-Founder, Park & Fifth
The Challenge
Funding Growth Beyond Bridal Apparel
Park & Fifth started with a simple mission: create dresses that women genuinely love to wear, not just for weddings but for meaningful moments of all kinds.
As the brand grew and expanded beyond bridal and bridesmaid apparel, customer expectations increased alongside demand. The team needed systems that could help them move faster, automate repetitive tasks, and deliver a seamless customer experience at scale.
The Solution
Cash Advance to Fund Expansion and New Tools
With this goal in mind, Park & Fifth leveraged Clearco's funding to expand their clothing lines to make every occasion feel like your special day.
Through Clearco’s ecommerce partner network, Park & Fifth was also introduced to Gorgias, a customer service platform designed specifically for ecommerce brands.
The Results
New Product Lines and Stronger Customer Support
The partnership between Park & Fifth, Clearco, and Gorgias helped create a stronger operational foundation for growth. The team now has the tools to automate support processes, manage customer conversations more effectively, and scale service operations alongside business growth.
At the same time, Clearco’s capital gave the founders the confidence to expand beyond their original bridal-focused product assortment and launch broader social apparel collections designed for birthdays, anniversaries, vacations, barbecues, and other special occasions.
