Birddogs Secures Flexible Credit Facility from Assembled Brands to Fuel Omnichannel Growth

Assembled Brands Capital is pleased to announce the closing of a new credit facility for Birddogs, a high-growth menswear brand known for its innovative product design and strong direct-to-consumer presence. Our new facility will provide the resources needed to support the company’s continued growth, expand across wholesale channels, and capitalize on increasing demand.

Founded in 2016, Birddogs has quickly evolved from a niche apparel startup into a leading brand in the men’s active and casual wear category. With a high-margin product portfolio, loyal customer base, and a disciplined approach to growth, Birddogs is well-positioned to scale its omnichannel presence and sustain its growth trajectory.

The Birddogs team turned to Assembled Brands after recognizing that traditional bank financing wouldn’t meet their needs. Like many high-growth consumer brands, they wanted a capital partner who could move quickly, tailor solutions to their operational needs, and offer funding without the usual covenants, lockboxes, or personal guarantees.

“Growth-stage brands like Birddogs trust us because we understand their mindset and offer creative solutions to outdated underwriting models that help them scale faster and more efficiently,” said Jeffrey Mangiafico, Senior Vice President of Originations at Assembled Brands.

“We are excited to partner with top-tier operators who can demonstrate consistent growth,” added Michael Lipkin, CEO of Assembled Brands. “Our flexible line of credit will help Birddogs as they continue to scale and tap new wholesale markets.”

“This facility gives us the flexibility to accelerate Birddogs’ growth as we expand from DTC into wholesale while continuing to broaden our product offering. Assembled Brands stood out immediately as partners who truly understand the unique needs of growth-stage consumer brands,” said Chris Wink, CFO/COO at Birddogs.

This partnership underscores Assembled Brands’ commitment to offering strategic, founder-friendly financing solutions that empower consumer brands to pursue growth initiatives without compromising on quality, brand integrity, or customer experience.

We’re excited to support Birddogs as they enter their next growth phase and look forward to being a long-term capital partner in their continued success.
