TORONTO (PRWEB) October 19, 2021 - Clearco, the worlds largest e-commerce investor and the company revolutionizing the way founders grow their businesses, today announced that its ClearAngel program is funding Philadelphia-based streetwear company, INFECT CO. ClearAngel gives early-stage founders access to revenue share capital, data-driven advice, and Clearcos extensive network of apps, agencies, and investors.

Founded in 2016 by Evan Wickersham as a side-gig, INFECT CO has carved out a niche for itself within the modern-day streetwear market by embracing the DIY mentality of its punk-rock and streetwear predecessors using thought-provoking design and storytelling. When Wickersham was left jobless during the pandemic, he was able to turn his former side-hustle into a full-fledged business. Not wanting to rest on his laurels, Wickersham sought the expertise and funding of ClearAngel to provide guidance on content, inventory and digital marketing as INFECT CO continues to grow.

ClearAngel is one of a few equity-free, flexible capital options for early-stage founders who dont have the network to raise an angel round or join exclusive accelerators. The program has already funded over 350 companies since its February 2021 launch.

Were proud to fund Infect Co in its mission to infect the world with truth, said Andrew DSouza, CEO and co-founder, Clearco. This ClearAngel investment empowers the young streetwear brand to spread their message far and wide.

In addition to flexible capital, INFECT CO will also get access to a network of more than 500 investors, growth teams, agencies, apps, lawyers, and buyers; and data-driven advice designed to help scale and hit new revenue milestones.

It is in our DNA to help others, said Wickersham. Our mission to 'infect' the world with truth through original streetwear apparel, rich storytelling and thought-provoking design is going to be amplified exponentially thanks to ClearAngel.
