I love bootstrapping.

To succeed as a founder, you have to find every advantage you can. Especially ones that provide non-dilutive capital.

I recently discovered a new co and loved them so much I partnered with them

Here's the story and a special deal I got for my followers👇🏽

1) Scaling ads for DTC kept me in a vicious cycle:

- The more I spend, the faster I have to pay down my card. My card has 30 day terms, but ends up being 7

- When campaign performance looks off, I call 5 friends to confirm they're seeing the same

- Points don't help me scale

2) I got a call from my friend and fellow entrepreneur @jamesborow.

We used to be competitors. I was CEO of Ampush and he was CEO of SHIFT (which he sold to Snap)

3) We pitched against each other for Visa, Hulu and tons of other brands paid social business.

I shared I was building brands and he got super excited… "Jesse, I have to tell you about my new company…"

His idea was genius:

4) @trustdotco - The credit card of every DTC Entrepreneurs dreams.

It solved all my problems:
- Amazing terms
- Flexible line based on your media spend
- Aggregate/anonymized data with recommendations
- A thriving DTC community

Here's more about Trust's Community Credit Card:

5) Trust helps businesses turn a corporate card into a growth vehicle in three main ways:

- Learn from each other’s spending patterns

- Receive trusted advice

- Get better terms to help with cash flow

Let’s take those one by one.

6) Learn:

Upon signing up, businesses become part of a community of startups.

They gain visibility into aggregated and anonymized data.

See how businesses are investing in growth, plus see the latest CPM, CPC and CPV pricing.

7) Advice:

Hear from other founders about how they’re growing their business.

Get insights from subject experts.

Trust also keeps you up to date on headlines that matter most to grow your business.

8) Cash flow:

Trust gives businesses up to 60 day payment terms. That extra window has become a huge help for startups using Trust.

Credit limits are also up to 20x.

Both help early businesses focus on growth.

9) Trust, by the way, is completely free.

And it took me less than five minutes to sign up.

10) I'm excited to be partnered with Trust

The products James and the team are rolling out will help businesses grow smarter and faster - together!

When you sign up, mention my name and get 60 day terms on your first 2 statements, plus a $500 credit after $25K in spend.

11) Check them out trust.co and if you like/RT this thread and follow them @Trustdotco

As an added bonus - one lucky new Trust card using business will get an extra $10,000 in media spend credited back to their Trust statement after Black Friday!
