CHICAGO (April 12, 2022) – Stonegate Capital is excited to announce it has 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.
