On August 27, Sheridan Clayborne, the 21-year-old founder of hot fintech startup Lendtable, strolled into the Sway House, an extravagant, Los Angeles mansion that is home to six of the world’s greatest TikTok stars known as the Sway Boys. It was his birthday.
Clayborne knew that three of the Sway Boys — 18-year-old Josh Richards, and 21-year-olds Bryce Hall and Griffin Johnson—needed to become financial investors, purchasing ownership stakes in hot new companies, trusting those new businesses succeed and ascend in worth.
He was interested if he should let them get tied up with his organization.
Rather than raising money through a pitch deck, Clayborne made TikToks with the Sway Boys and blended with big names like The Chainsmokers — all in a mansion loaded with an outside pool, a ping-pong table in a big family room, beautiful galleries with workout stations, and expensive vehicles like Teslas left in the garage.
Be that as it may, as fun as the party royal residence was for a birthday trip, he had doubts if they would simply be “air-headed TikTok e-Boys,” he revealed to Business Insider.
All things considered, he let them purchase a small bit of his organization and was overwhelmed to find that they have helped increment clients for his product, which helps individuals obtain cash to maximize their organization’s 401K match. What’s more, they aren’t simply pulling in college kids, but suburban mothers, as well, he said.
Richards, Hall, and Johnson have since put resources into a modest bunch of different new companies, and those founders disclosed to Business Insider they are content with the partnership, as well.
But the Sway Boys additionally come stacked with a lot of controversies that are typical for 18-and 21-year-old celebrities. They have a lot of critics who consider them to be simply overestimated partiers with a passing interest in the venture, and are “not very cultured.”
