The story
One request. Capital matched to the order.
Bridge financed $800K in production capital so LIVWELL could fulfill a major Whole Foods expansion without giving up equity.
01 · The opportunity
Hundreds of new doors, if the inventory could ship.
When LIVWELL landed a Whole Foods expansion into hundreds of new stores, founder Olivia Napoli knew it was a defining moment. She also knew LIVWELL did not have the working capital to produce at that scale.
She would not take personal debt or give up equity just to get on shelves. She needed capital that understood her supply chain, and moved before the order window closed.
“We had just landed a huge opportunity, but I had never produced at that scale. I was nervous, and I did not have the capital to fulfill the orders.”
02 · The challenge
The order had a clock. Traditional lending did not.
Production had to start before Whole Foods remitted. A delayed shipment would not only miss revenue; it would put the retailer relationship at risk.
A generic working-capital product ignored that timing. Olivia needed financing built around the order and the production cycle itself.
03 · The outcome
On shelves. Ownership intact.
With $800,000 in production financing through Bridge, LIVWELL produced, shipped on time, and launched nationally. Olivia kept full ownership while hitting the retail window.
