Fashion is what is happening now,
in this world. And what's happening now in this world is sustainability.

And we have a vision that beauty will change the world. bkr is a glass water bottle with
a silicon sleeve. It is inspired by health, and the environment, and more deeply,
00:00:30 by beauty. We're making colors that reflect what's coming down the runways.
We're inspired by Japanese design , Parisian street chic, everything beautiful that we
love.
But when I first started the business, I didn't have any money, zero. You can't get VC funding
for a tiny company. You can only squeeze your family and your friends to a certain point.
And I really needed that extra help.
Ben -- Chase Banker Through an SBA loan, we were actually able
to give Tal's business the capital it needed to manage their cash flow and be able to,
to operate really.
Tal 00:01:00 My line of credit without it? I think
I would be in a constant panic, really.
Ben --Chase Banker We also recommended that the client apply
for a business credit card, one of our Ink cards.
Tal I have an Ink card, and it's connected to
all my accounts, so I can see my activity on Chase online.
Ben -- Chase Banker She also didn't have to give up any equity
in her company. She gets to remain in control of her company and we get to help give her
the tools that she needs to grow. Um, but she gets to stay in control of it so she can
execute her own vision.
Tal Exactly.
Tal 00:01:30 Beauty is not just on the outside,
it's on the inside, too. We invest in companies that are
building wells in countries where they don't have clean water. Chase has really helped
further our causes, and has been able to help create something beautiful from, just giving
us the capital we needed, and it's pretty cool to just decide that you think something's
a good idea, and all of a sudden you have magic. The bkr is really magic.
