Premoney 63: GenerationShe & Ties

Welcome to week 63! Refeaturing one of the companies from the end of last year to make sure everyone gets a chance to meet them, plus a launch of my own.

To all new readers of Premoney: Welcome - if you haven’t already, please send me a note introducing yourself, why you signed up, and what type of investing & scouting you’re interested in. Excited to meet you!

A Swapstack Launch:

For those keeping score at home, my main squeeze is my company - Swapstack. Swapstack is a newsletter advertising platform that helps advertisers scale newsletter sponsorships.

Affiliates on Swapstack: Today we officially launched Affiliates, by Swapstack.

For advertisers: If your company runs an affiliate program, you can now extend that program to Swapstack, and put your deal in front of our 40M+ weekly readers.

My ask:

• If you know any leaders in marketing, affiliate, or growth roles, would love to connect with them.

• We launched on Product Hunt, of course, and would appreciate your support here!
