Premoney 36: Dolo & Dwellito

Welcome to week 36! I took last week off as we’re kickstarting a look back analysis to determine how well all of our previously featured companies have done. Looking forward to sharing that with you all next week. A lot more work than expected, but thank you, Andrew Gluck (GP irrvrntVC) for the push to do it!

Swapstack update & ask!

If you’re sick of hearing me talk about Swapstack, I apologize - I’m just so amped up about it.

What: Swapstack is a marketplace that connects newsletters & publications to brands to run sponsored content. Our goal is to help creators monetize their work, and to enable brands to speak directly to their target audience. Ask: If you are a brand manager, founder or know anyone interested in testing out “creator marketing,” I’d love to get you on the platform and connect you with high-impact writers to grow your business!

Stats:

• 400+ writers

• 100+ brands

• 10M+ readers represented

• About to hit ~$100k in GMV in 3 months (this is $$ paid to creators!!)

That’s all for this week!
