## 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](/content/ecommerce-funding/index.html) 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.

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.
