How Triumph Systems launched in 1,266 Walmart stores
The opportunity
Founded in 2015 by former Navy SEAL Jared Ogden, Triumph Systems builds reactive targets and training systems out of St. Louis, designed in the US, fulfilled in the heartland, and approved and recommended by the National Tactical Officers Association. This year the brand earned its biggest break yet, a launch into 1,266 Walmart stores.
A first retail launch at that scale means producing a full run of product before that purchase order payment is sent. Production capital is what lets a brand meet a moment like this fully stocked, from day one.
How Bridge helps
Bridge is a Citi-backed, AI-powered lending platform that gives suppliers fast, transparent production capital to fund orders for Walmart and Sam's Club locations. For Triumph, that meant funding production for the Walmart launch order, up to 100% of cost of goods.
- Triumph shared its order and basic financials
- Funded the same day approval came through
- Production filled without draining operating cash or giving up equity
Triumph Systems earned its first national retail launch in 1,266 Walmart stores. Bridge funded production so the veteran-founded brand could fill that first order in full and launch on its own terms.
