Can a Brand have a success problem? Isaac Mertens discusses the problems they faced after experiencing quick success with their brand, which was self-funded. A major issue was the "chicken and egg scenario" where a bank was hesitant to provide money when the brand needed it.

Infinity Scale Secret Sauce! Securing favorable payment terms from manufacturers is critical for scaling a business, especially for inventory-heavy industries like apparel. Moving from a payment term of 50% deposit and 50% ex-factory to 30% deposit and 70% 30 days ex-factory "unlocks millions of dollars".

E:17 OF MAKING CENTS WITH Horatio IS NOW LIVE!​ This week we have Horatio, CEO of Buddha Juice (NYSE: BUDA), breaking down how they pivoted from retail juice stores to a profitable “ultra-fresh” wholesale model and then took the company public.​ Takeaways:​ 👉 Prioritize wholesale over retail early: Horatio exited 18 stores after seeing 10k Costco weekend shoppers vs. 400 weekly in retail. 👉 Build a supply chain moat (35°F end-to-end) for ultra-fresh edge: Enabled them 8 to 12 day shelf life. Juice-to-order also minimizes inventory risk. 👉 Consider going public if you are profitable and have no-debt: Raised $23M at $127M cap for faster awareness + liquidity beats slow organic growth. 👉 Automate ruthlessly for margins: Labor costs dropped from $0.10 to ~$0.01/unit via semi-auto plant (now 30 people vs. prior 50) targeting 45%+ gross margins. Lots of people had questions about this deal so make sure to check out the episode in our Youtube or Spotify Official Channels.

This video shares into how consumer behavior has shifted in the shoe industry and what that means for brands trying to build lasting loyalty. We unpack why people just don’t stick with one logo the way they used to, and how trends and “cultural relevance” now drive a big part of the purchase decision.

Most CPG founders hiring a fractional CFO don't know what "good" looks like. They're paying $8K-$15K a month and getting monthly financials with no context, no forecast, and no plan. So we put together a framework. The bare minimum your outsourced finance partner should deliver, what separates good from great, and what the top 0.05% actually looks like. If you're running a consumer brand doing $10M+ and you don't have a 36-month financial model, monthly variance analysis, and a rolling 13-week cash flow model, that should make you uncomfortable. Check it out here: https://www.irisfinance.co/blog/what-should-your-outsourced-finance-department-actually-deliver

Most founders think financing comes down to one decision: raise equity or don’t. That’s incomplete. There is a massive, creative debt market sitting between “raise a round” and “bootstrap forever,” and most founders only learn how it works after they get burned. Check out our newest blog post, breaking down the most common e-commerce debt instruments we see founders use. https://www.irisfinance.co/blog/ecommerce-debt-financing-debt-vs.-equity-explained-for-founders

If you’ve built a CPG brand past your first few million in revenue, you already know this: growth is easy to chase but profitability is not. We just published a practical guide on how omnichannel consumer brands should actually think about finance as they scale, from the early days through eight figures. It's a breakdown of financial rigor, decision-driven FP&A, and how inventory, cash, and profitability need to evolve as you grow. If you’re selling across DTC, Amazon, Shopify, TikTok, or all of the above, hopefully this will save you time, money, and a few painful lessons.

January is all about setting goals. But in commerce, goals don’t behave evenly. One sale can drive 40% of a month. One week can drive most of a year. That’s the reality of high-velocity commerce. The real leverage comes from breaking goals down day by day and tracking what actually drives performance: revenue, CAC, product mix, and contribution margin. We just published a piece on our site breaking down why daily goal setting and tracking matters and how it gives operators the ability to adjust in real time instead of reacting at month-end.

Growing fast forces founders to get honest about what’s really driving the business. And that's exactly what happened with our partners at @reachinternationaloutfitters. As founders, Trent and Sarah scaled quickly. But like many growing brands, they needed more than intuition to guide daily decisions, especially as ad spend increased. By focusing on daily contribution margin, RIO gained a clear way to decide when to push, when to pull back, and how to scale with confidence. Check out their story here: https://www.irisfinance.co/customer-stories/how-rio-manages-up-to-400k-day-in-ad-spend-using-daily-contribution-margin
