Update: 2025-10-01
Description
Painterland Sisters has gone from maxing out credit cards on a family dairy farm in Pennsylvania to closing a seven-figure seed round and landing national distribution. Co-founders Stephanie and Hayley Painter share how they built the brand, navigated the shock of a withdrawn bank loan, and raised from both hundreds of community investors and institutional backers. Joining them is Kevin Griffith, fractional CFO with AmpliFi, who helped structure their Wefunder campaign, SAFE note, and seed round. Together they break down the real tactics behind crowdfunding, SAFE structures, working capital for perishables, and keeping a complex cap table aligned.
