Bespoke Financial

Bespoke Financial is the nation's first fintech lender exclusively focused on the cannabis industry, headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 2018 by George Mancheril and Benjamin (co-founder), the company provides non-dilutive, scalable working capital solutions — including lines of credit and other flexible financing products — to licensed cannabis and hemp businesses across 14 US states, covering approximately 80% of the US cannabis market. Bespoke Financial operates similarly to Square Capital for small businesses or Affirm for consumers, but purpose-built for the regulatory complexities of cannabis lending. In December 2021, the company closed a $125 million credit facility to expand its lending capacity, having previously raised a $7 million seed round in 2019 and an $8 million Series A in April 2021. The company reported +420% YoY revenue growth as of mid-2021. Its website domain (bespokefinancial.com) has since been listed for sale, which may indicate a rebrand or operational change.
