Thombar was featured in The Packer, the leading trade publication for specialty crop growers. Read about our mission to solve the specialty crop credit crunch with intelligent banking built for fruit, vegetable, and nut operations.
We were recently featured in The Packer — the leading trade publication for the specialty crop industry — and we’re proud to share the coverage.
Reporter Jennifer Strailey captured something we’ve been saying since day one: specialty crop growers are navigating one of the most financially complex operating environments of any small business in the country, and the financial tools available to them have never been built with that in mind.
Specialty crop growers have more financial complexity than banks see with any other small business in the states.” — Liron Brish, Founder & CEO
The article covers the full picture of what we’re building: high-yield checking, fast access to credit, a grower-specific perks package, and our Signals dashboard – the real-time intelligence layer for crop prices, diesel, trucking, packaging, and more. It also previews where we’re headed with Ask Thomas, our AI-driven CFO tool designed to connect the dots between a grower’s financials and the market forces affecting their bottom line.
We’re still early. If you’re a specialty crop grower — fruit, vegetable, nut, or potato — now is a great time to get involved. The growers who join us now become partners in shaping what we build.
