Welcome to the Brydge Club podcast! I'm your host, Ruffin, and today I’m excited to be joined by Jess Catorc, co-founder of Carry, the all-in-one platform for tax-advantaged accounts, investments, and strategy designed for business owners and high-earning professionals. Jess is an award-winning brand strategist who has helped thousands of entrepreneurs and startups scale their reach and revenue online. Prior to founding Carry, Jess led creator partnerships at Teachable, which sold for $250 million. In just two years, Jess and her team have grown Carry to $1 million in ARR, with backing from notable investors like Sophia Amoruso and Codie Sanchez.
In this episode, Jess shares her journey from leading creator partnerships at Teachable to co-founding Carry. We dive into her experiences working at a high-growth startup and the lessons she’s brought into building her own company. Jess also discusses the challenges of understanding the tax code as a business owner, the inspiration behind starting Carry, and how they are empowering entrepreneurs to save money and grow their businesses. We also talk about the different tax strategies available, how Carry has grown its customer base, and the exciting future ahead for the company.
I hope you enjoy!
