Pepper Group

About

Pepper Financial provides DTC startups a platform that predicts how operational investments—marketing spend, salaries, office space, travel, and perks—affect future company health.

Mission

Pepper Financial is an LA-based company that helps direct-to-consumer startups scale operations by predicting how investments will impact future company health. The platform makes determinations based on marketing spend, salaries, office space, travel and entertainment, and other perks. Pepper was formed when a business founded by CEO James Borow merged with Forge Platform and the companies combined their funding. The founding team includes six founders — James Borow, Geoffrey Anderson, Chris Lorenz, Sean Friedland, Daniel Druger, and Spencer Anderson — five of whom previously worked together at Snap. The company announced a $5.6 million seed round. Several former and current Snap employees and executives are supporting Pepper Financial.
