In this episode of Startup to Scale, I dive into the essential backend tools that brands need to streamline their operations, manage cash flow, and access working capital.

I sit down with the Mel and Branden from Settle to discuss:

• ✅ The key challenges brands face when scaling—especially aligning sales, operations, and financing.
• ✅ When to transition from spreadsheets to more robust business management tools.
• ✅ The must-have tech stack, including sales orders, bill pay, inventory management, and procurement.
• ✅ The best ways to fund growth, including the pros and cons of different debt funding options.
