From StudyFetch Series A story
What was said about College Board
StudyFetch spent Series A money on brand content after scaling its creator program. After raising an $11.5 million Series A from Owl Ventures and the College Board, StudyFetch put money into a better user experience, scaling the creator program, and higher-quality brand content such as cafe pop-ups on the main account. The aim was an emotional connection with users and marketing the brand rather than just the product.
The round came after about 18 months of bootstrapping. The order matters: brand content was funded once the creator program was already scaled.
