About Andie Swim
Andie Swim, a customer-first online swimwear brand, partnered with Clearco to efficiently scale paid social marketing and sustain rapid growth.

“VC money is really expensive, and you need to maximize it. By finding an alternative capital source to fund your paid social, you’re truly capital efficient and that’s been key to Andie Swim’s 300% YoY growth”
– Melanie Travis, Founder of Andie Swim

The Challenge

Funding Paid Social Marketing to Meet Demand

Andie Swim experienced strong demand from the beginning, quickly building a waitlist of more than 100,000 customers. But scaling that momentum required significant investment in customer acquisition, especially paid social marketing.

The Solution

Non-Dilutive Capital for Customer Acquisition

Andie Swim’s founder, Melanie Travis, turned to Clearco for ecommerce funding for paid social campaigns and to maximize growth opportunities without relying solely on venture capital.

By leveraging funding that didn’t require giving up equity, Andie Swim could continue scaling customer acquisition while preserving equity capital for other strategic areas of the business.

The Results

Growth Without Giving Up Company Ownership

Achieved 300% YoY growth
Attracted VC attention

Clearco helped Andie Swim accelerate growth during a critical scaling phase, leading to 300% year-over-year growth for the swimwear brand.

“VC money is really expensive and you need to maximize it,” says Melanie Travis, Founder of Andie Swim. “By finding an alternative capital source to fund your paid social, you’re truly capital efficient and that’s been key to Andie Swim’s 300% YoY growth.”

The additional capital also allowed the brand to invest aggressively in customer acquisition, while maintaining a strong focus on capital efficiency, which actually later helped attract venture investors. As momentum continued building, Andie Swim raised a $6.5M Series A round, further validating the strength of their business and growth model.
