Ink’d Greetings Named a 2025 “Most Fundable Companies” Winner

Ink’d Greetings has been recognized as one of Pepperdine Graziadio Business School’s Most Fundable Companies® of 2025, earning both Winner and Fan Favorite distinctions in this year’s national competition. Now in its annual showcase of early-stage innovation, the program evaluated more than 2,300 startups from all 50 states before narrowing the field to just 14 winners and three fan favorites. The honor places Ink’d Greetings among a select group of emerging ventures shaping the future of American entrepreneurship. Under the leadership of CEO Andrew Ekmark , Ink’d Greetings is reimagining the way people share appreciation—making gifting fun, convenient, and accessible through personalized experiences and tech-driven creativity. During the competition, Ekmark’s presentation resonated with humor, authenticity, and vision—earning both applause and connection from the audience. “This recognition is more than an award,” Ekmark said.“It’s validation that heartfelt connection still matters—and we’re building technology that makes it easier than ever.” With momentum now on its side, Ink’d Greetings is poised for rapid growth as it expands its reach and continues to redefine modern gifting.
