“We noticed that when we were looking at all these other platforms, there were sort of like a database where you would search and find influencers. But tricky part is that that is not even a quarter of the whole process of getting to work with influencers.”
“We turned the table and built a marketplace where a brand creates a listing and we have a vetted network of influencers. So it's invite only, and everyone has to get approved. Everyone has to make world class content to be on Trend.”
“We've been selling for about five months now. And this month actually was our first two churn clients. So we've been months to months so far, we had 0% churn. And then this month we actually lost our first two clients.”
