Arc Launches Partner Marketplace, Offering Customers Exclusive Savings on Business Essentials

Arc, a cash management platform for startups, announced the GA launch of its partner marketplace today. The marketplace offers exclusive discounts and promotions with top tier partners, and is tailored to help startups cut expenses, bolster revenue, and improve their operational efficiency. Arc’s partner marketplace includes some of the largest names in SaaS including the likes of Rippling, Slack, and Gusto.

The thinking is simple: startups building in a challenging macro environment with limited capital need to make every penny count—having discounts on the essential services helps.

Don Muir, Co-founder and CEO of Arc, emphasized the importance of stretching every dollar in today’s uncertain economic climate. “With global venture capital funding down over 50% year-over-year, the most reliable way for founders to increase runway is by reducing net cash burn,” he explained. "This playbook comprises both topline growth and OpEx rationalization. As an early-stage startup, we struggled to find business tools that were within our budget, so we decided to do something about it. The launch of Arc’s partner marketplace is just one of the many ways we help startups minimize costs and grow more sustainably.”

Some of Arc’s partners and promotions include:

• Slack (productivity and collaboration) – 25% off eligible upgrades to Slack Pro and Business+

• Rippling (people operations and admin) – 3 months of free access to the platform

• Vouch (business operations, admin & legal) — 5% discount on annual policy premium

• Aloware (marketing & sales enablement) — 1 week free trial of the all access platform

“In an environment where there is no end in sight to the VC drought, every cent counts,” said Niles Lichtenstein, CEO and Co-Founder of Nestment. “Arc’s partner marketplace is not only a great resource for startups looking to cut costs on their essential services, it’s also a fantastic distribution channel for startups to quickly get their products or services in the hands of other startups. It’s truly a win-win.”

The announcement comes on the heels of the Arc’s announcement of Arc Treasury, which helps startups protect 100% of their cash through $5.25M of FDIC Coverage, $500k of SIPC Coverage and access to US Treasury bills. To learn more about Arc and sign up for an account, visit: https://www.arc.tech
