Request to update Drip Capital article — Krishna (COI disclosure)
[edit]Hi all,
I work as the Branding and Communications Manager at Drip Capital, so I have a COI and will not edit the article directly. I am proposing updates because the current page is outdated and missing core information about the company's operations, products, and history.
Below is neutral, sourced replacement text for the lead section, History, and Products, and Services. All changes aim to improve accuracy, remove promotional language, and align with current operations. ________________
