By Dan Anderson • Dec 10, 2023

Bridge Bank (a division of Western Alliance Bank) recently announced that its Technology Banking Group closed a $3.5 million venture debt term loan with Gooten, a leading technology and fulfillment company based in New York. Gooten will use the funding for continued growth and expansion.

Gooten offers order management systems to power on-demand production to more than 10,000 businesses. And its technology gives its clients the flexibility to grow/manage a global network of production partners and distribute orders among them based on dynamic and configurable rules customized to their business. Brands are able to rely on Gooten’s fulfillment network of over 250 product types and 90 manufacturing facilities globally as they test and add new on-demand listings to their stores.

Gooten’s platform helps companies quickly reach their goals by reducing the uncertainty of experimentation when they are adding new products and vendors. And it also allows supply chain teams to scale in managing larger global production footprints without increasing headcount.

Bridge Bank’s Technology Banking Group supports technology companies at all stages with customized banking services and credit solutions to help them navigate the rapidly changing environment.
