The expanded credit facility and further equity commitment from Ripple Fiber’s current sponsors provide the capital resources to maintain and enhance the company’s position as one of the fastest-growing independent FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) providers in the country. Ripple Fiber has already deployed over 170,000 fiber passings across seven states, adding more than 100,000 passings and 13,000 subscribers in the last twelve months alone. The company has developed a clearly defined strategic growth path to expand its fiber footprint nationwide.

“As we’ve demonstrated our ability to efficiently deploy capital and achieve strong market penetration rates, our partners have enthusiastically increased their commitment to Ripple Fiber’s growth story,” said Stuart van der Veen, Board Member of Ripple Fiber. “The strength of the company’s AI-driven market selection technology, coupled with a disciplined approach to capital deployment, enables us to ramp up our build engine and develop multiple markets concurrently. This expanded debt facility provides the runway we need to capitalize on the significant opportunities we’ve identified across our target markets.”

Post Road Group, who has been a key financial partner to Ripple Fiber, continues its support with this transaction. “Ripple Fiber is building critical infrastructure to connect communities across the country, and we’re proud to support their continued expansion. The team has demonstrated strong execution, disciplined market entry, and a thoughtful approach to scaling.
