Stonegate Capital closed on a senior debt investment in Clio Snacks. Founded in 2015 by Sergey Konchakovskiy, Clio offers a line of handheld Greek Yogurt Bars and Granola & Yogurt Parfait Bars that combine the benefits of whole milk Greek yogurt - which are high in protein and probiotics - with an irresistible cheesecake-like texture and decadent dark chocolate coating. Clio recently launched three new innovative additions to its refrigerated, handheld bar portfolio: Chocolate Greek Yogurt Bars, Vanilla Less Sugar Yogurt Bars and Vanilla Almond Granola & Yogurt Parfait Bars.

“Clio is an innovative fresh snacking brand and we are ecstatic about our partnership with the Company. We pride ourselves on aligning with the high-growth, entrepreneurial backed market, and this thesis aligns perfectly with Clio’s exciting market disruption in the healthier for you snacking space” said Jordan Hoppe, Director at Stonegate Capital. “We are certainly looking forward to being a collaborative partner in Clio’s already impressive growth story.”
