Clearco, an e-commerce investment company that focuses on growing businesses, announced that its ClearAngel program funded Bea’s Wellness Teas, a provider of top-quality organic loose-leaf tea blends.
ClearAngel gives early-stage founders access to revenue share capital, data-driven advice, and Clearco’s extensive network of investors, apps and agencies.
Founded in July 2018, Bea’s Wellness Teas was brewed out of a desperate need for natural cures. Struggling with viral pericarditis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis and pre-diabetes, mother-of-five Adrienne Jones turned her health around after researching and experimenting with herbal tea mixtures.
“I would always find myself saying, ‘There’s a tea for that,’ when talking to family, friends and co-workers, then I would tell them which herbs they needed based on their symptoms,” shared Jones. “After promoting several store-bought teas on my Instagram page, I decided to launch my own tea company to promote my own high-quality wellness tea blends. I searched for top-quality organic herbs and spices until I found the very best out there. Bea’s Wellness Teas is now an online wellness tea shop that is serving wellness a cup at a time.”
Empowering Bea’s Wellness Teas
Having successfully deployed an e-commerce strategy, ClearAngel’s funding will empower Bea’s Wellness Teas to explore new growth channels.
“I’m excited to leverage ClearAngel’s support and help improve even more through the natural healing of tea mixtures,” said Jones. “As a Black, female entrepreneur, who transformed both her health and career herself, I hope my journey can help inspire other entrepreneurs to take action.”
ClearAngel is a new, equity-free, flexible capital option for early-stage founders who don’t have the network or mentorship to raise an angel round or join exclusive accelerators. The program has already funded over 350 companies, like Bea’s Wellness Teas, since its February 2021 launch.
“Adrienne Jones’ mission in founding Bea’s Wellness Teas is truly to those seeking a natural approach to wellness,” said Andrew D’Souza, CEO and co-founder of Clearco. “Without programs like ClearAngel, many BIPOC-owned businesses often face barriers securing investment. We’re proud that our funding model is disrupting ‘business as usual’ to help Adrienne’s brand reach more people.”
In addition to $10,000 of flexible capital, Bea’s Wellness Teas will also get access to a network of 500+ investors, growth teams, agencies, apps, lawyers and buyers, in addition to data-driven advice designed to help scale and hit new revenue milestones. As Jones and her team achieve additional milestones, they will have the opportunity to unlock more ClearAngel funding.
