About Helio
Helio originated as an internal software application that guided the decisions of CircleUp’s team of early-stage CPG investors and lenders. The insights extracted from the software enabled them to find and provide capital (investments or loans) into early-stage CPGs with tons of future promise. CircleUp used Helio to inform more over $1.25B in loans and to deploy a top-performing venture fund which included early investments in winning brands such as Liquid IV, Supergoop, and many others.
As the industry heard about Helio’s ability to predict breakout success, the interest in getting access to the technology mounted. In 2022, we made Helio commercially available and turned 10 of the top 100 CPGs in the world into Helio superfans.
Helio helps big CPGs (think Coca Cola, General Mills, etc.) leverage data on brands and trends from the entire CPG information universe to strategically build multi-year innovation and acquisition agendas.
Executives at these consumer goods companies are tasked with one thing: find new ways to grow the business. Oftentimes this is through Investment & Acquisition, Innovation, and big long-term bets. Helio helps by identifying new brands from 200+ data sources and provides tons of data for each one — from sales and distribution to voice of customer and social media analytics. It’s this mosaic of consumer brand data that is the secret sauce for our customers. No other data provider on the market can provide the kind of insights our clients get from Helio.
