SocialLadder operates a mobile app (offered both white-label and direct-to-consumer) that links brands with social influencers to drive consumer engagement and serve as an alternative to banner ads in the age of ad blockers. The startup cites customers including VitaCoco, Flywheel and T-Mobile and previously landed filmmaker Kevin Smith as an early customer. Founders Alana Bly and Raavi Iqbal have grown the team to four full-time employees and recently hired CTO Amer Qureshi; they are recruiting a sales director and marketers. The company is part of the Project Liberty Digital Incubator and works from the Philly papers’ 8th and Market headquarters. Financially, SocialLadder raised $550,000 in the most recent financing and has raised $750,000 in total to date, according to an SEC filing.
