The Bridge built by Citi® Team & VerishopGroup Collaborate to Help Increase Access to Capital for Small & Medium Businesses
By submitting one RFP on the Bridge built by Citi platform, VerishopGroup’s V—Community members can potentially increase their access to capital.

VerishopGroup is collaborating with Citi to introduce the Bridge built by Citi® platform to its brand community. Since 2019, VerishopGroup has been committed to supporting the world’s independent and emerging brands — and more recently, launched the first end-to-end business growth and acceleration platform dedicated to SMBs. Through VerishopGroup’s V—Community, thousands of brands are now able to gain access to exclusive media placements, increased retail distribution (both on and off of VerishopGroup’s flagship e-commerce platform), education and networking opportunities, collaborations like the one with Bridge built by Citi, and a host of unique offers and one-of-a-kind partnerships.
This collaboration to introduce the Bridge built by Citi platform to VerishopGroup’s brand community is an impactful opportunity for VerishopGroup and Bridge built by Citi to help to empower independent and emerging brands in reaching their goals. Together, they’re connecting founders with a diverse group of lenders for potential funding — using a modern, digital approach — that can help fuel opportunities for business growth.
By submitting one RFP on the Bridge built by Citi platform, VerishopGroup’s V—Community members can potentially increase access to capital faster and more conveniently.
If you’re part of the V—Community and in need of business funding, you can learn more and submit an RFP through the Bridge application.
Note: Neither VerishopGroup nor Citi have any influence in lending decisions, nor do they participate as lenders on the platform. Bridge helps to facilitate the establishment of an independent relationship between a prospective borrower and one or more lenders.
