Automated-data driven investor brings pieces together for gender-neutral subscription box
Clearco, the world’s largest e-commerce investor and the company revolutionizing the way founders grow their businesses, announced that Puzzle Culture, a gender-neutral subscription box service for the puzzle lover in all of us, is the recipient of $10,000 of funding from Clearco’s data-driven ClearAngel program.
Founder Dawn Walsh established Puzzle Culture to combine her extensive retail industry career with her love for puzzles, geek culture and subscription box services. Walsh’s rationale was that Puzzle Culture would be a simple way of combining all the things she loves into one simple product. She also hopes that Puzzle Culture can help serve as a connector to bring her community together. Walsh is looking forward to applying the ClearAngel funding towards rebranding and marketing in hopes of increasing the company’s market share and gaining more exposure.

ClearAngel is one of the first equity-free, flexible capital options for early-stage founders who lack the network to join exclusive accelerators, raise an angel round or access traditional venture funding. Just launched in February 2021, the program has already funded over 250 companies.
“The puzzle industry alone is projected to grow 12 percent annually through 2026,” said Andrew D’Souza, CEO and co-founder, Clearco. “As a Latina founder who believes that puzzles can bring together communities, Dawn adds a unique perspective and passion to the industry that go beyond the bottom line and deserves investor backing.”
