The Clearco team headed to Brooklyn, New York, to connect in person with three brands that are growing with purpose and a clear direction. Our Creative Specialist, Dawn Buensuceso and our CEO Andrew Curtis flew out to meet the teams at DIGGS, Larroudé, and Dyper. The shoot took place at Studio Clyx, which had the right mix of light, space, and energy to keep things comfortable and creative. Rob from Futuristicmind was behind the camera, capturing each founder and their story in a way that felt true to who they are. It was a great chance to have real conversations and get a closer look at the work behind the products.

“Witnessing everything come to life was nothing short of extraordinary. After months of planning since January, seeing our vision materialize so seamlessly was both rewarding and deeply inspiring.” - Creative Specialist, Dawn Buensuceso

Dyper: Changing the Diaper Industry From the Ground Up

Dyper set out to make diapers that are better for babies and less harmful to the planet. Their products are made with 55% plant-based materials and have been clinically tested for sensitive skin. They also offer ReDYPER, a composting service that helps reduce diaper waste. During the shoot, the team spoke openly about the real challenges that come with scaling a sustainable product in a market dominated by large, established brands. They’ve stayed close to their customers through a direct-to-consumer model and created a business grounded in their principles.

DIGGS: Pet Products That Put Safety First

DIGGS is focused on making pet products that are safer, easier to use, and made with durability in mind. Their Revol Dog Crate is built with strong, non-toxic materials that meet baby product standards. The steel mesh allows for airflow, and the crate folds down smoothly for storage or travel. In 2025, pet spending in the U.S. is expected to reach $157 billion, showing just how much people are prioritizing the comfort and care of their animals. DIGGS is stepping up to meet that need with thoughtful design and real attention to detail. Clearco’s Invoice Funding has supported DIGGS through this growth while allowing them to stay aligned with their mission.

Larroudé: Fashion Made to Last and Built to Scale

Marina and Ricardo Larroudé started the brand after years of experience in fashion and business, combining their strengths to build something of their own. They wanted fashion that felt joyful, well-made, and built to last. They shared how they opened a factory in Brazil to have more control over production, creating room to grow without losing sight of their values. Every choice, from the sustainable tanneries they partner with to the custom foams they developed to improve wearability, reflects their focus on the customer. With Clearco as part of their capital strategy, Larroudé has been able to meet growing demand and support a 100% year-over-year increase without losing what makes their work feel personal, playful, and purposeful.

“It was a genuine honour to meet and collaborate with such remarkable individuals. Filming with them and helping to bring their stories to light was a truly humbling and enriching experience.” - Creative Specialist, Dawn Buensuceso

What We Learned from Dyper, DIGGS, and Larroudé

Spending time with the teams at DIGGS, Larroudé, and Dyper was a good reminder of why we do this work. Each brand is approaching growth in its own way, staying thoughtful about what they build and how they serve their customers. Hearing their stories in person and seeing how access to capital through Clearco helped along the way gave us a closer look at the kind of impact we’re proud to support. Thanks again to Studio Clyx for the beautiful space and to Rob from Futuristicmind for capturing it all!
