This is Dave.
In 2010, Dave was helping a friend launch a hydration beverage into the market.

Except he soon discovered it was very difficult to get distribution.
Tradeshows
He was frustrated by the inefficiency of:
Fragmented Buyer Channels
Fragmented Distribution Channels
“Why is it so difficult to
get a product on the shelf?”
He wished he could just press a
And solve all these problems!
BUTTON
Then he realized...
ideas come from pain and the vision of a new world!
BIG
Luckily Dave had some experience solving complex problems with simple and elegant solutions...
And so he thought...
Lets create a simple-to-use
MARKETPLACE
And Wholesalefund was born...
We will make it easy for Brands
And Buyers
We will create something so they can avoid all this wasted time dealing
with fragmented communication.
Now, how will we get the money
for this great idea?
Got It!
Instead of raising a bunch of money and hoping we get a software solution right...
NOW Let’s just start doing it
And build the ideal experience we envision.
We will test our entire business model before we write a line of code.
This will help us accelerate adoption
And give us time to innovate
the most elegant software solution...
...without being stuck with a “clunky” wrong answer.

We couldn’t do it alone though...

“Breaking into the market with a new product has many pitfalls, obstacles and they all come with a learning curve that at times can be overwhelming. Once we connected with WholesaleFund we found out quickly that the Director of Marketing wanted us to feel welcome. The attention to detail we have received by the staff at WholesaleFund has reassured us that we have placed our business with a broker that understands our unique product and one that shares our vision. WholesaleFund has elevated our brand in the market place like no other broker we have worked with before. With the greatest confidence we know we have a partner that can get the job done!” Mandy Lackner Mojobricks CFO Mandeo, LLC
