Partners are critical for running a lean and healthy small business. At Webster Pacific, we get to go under the hood of many small businesses, where we are fortunate enough to learn which partners are the best of the best. We’ve decided to celebrate those people below, where you’ll find our summary of why we think they’re exceptional at what they do. We don’t ever accept referral fees, we just want our network to have access to people who will do right by their business. Anyone can slap a logo on a page; our partners are real people who we stand behind.
Overview
Partners
Samir Shergill
Highbeam
High-Yield Banking, Cash Management, Lending
Steve’s take: Highbeam has hit the nail on the head for a banking platform. Their checking accounts offer a return on your money and their line of credit solutions have competitive rates and offer a lot of flexibility. Since we get to go under the hood of the brands we work with, we know that Highbeam makes a big difference.
How Highbeam is different: Highbeam is designed specifically for e-commerce brands, with products and experts that deeply understand what it takes to scale a brand toward profitability.

Will Forster
Brandog Digital
Digital Marketing
Steve’s take: Managing digital marketing budget is both a science and an art. As a data person myself, I find that Will does a great job of walking the line between data and intuition. He’s helped many of our clients scale their business through digital marketing without burning tons of capital to do so. That’s not easy to do.
How Brandog is different: Brandog works closely with creative teams to thoughtfully design and systematically test ads. They share what worked, what didn’t, and align how to improve on the next round. Brandog stays laser-focused on profitability to ensure that the growth they drive is sustainable.

Wiehan Britz
Magnet Monster
Email, SMS, Direct Mail Marketing
Steve’s take: Wiehan is a very talented marketer. He has a very strong fundamental understanding of email, SMS, and direct mail marketing and is quick to pick up on the strategy and vision of a brand, which is absolutely critical.
How Magnet Monster is different: Wiehan’s Magnet Monster is a fully managed service with 10 dedicated specialists assigned to your account, offered at a flat monthly fee with no long-term contract lock-ins.

Lorry Dudley
Lorry Industries
3PL
Steve’s take: 3PLs are essential for small D2C businesses and generally are one of the most significant expenses. Most big 3PLs will take on small D2C brands, but they don’t give individual attention and they sneak in hidden fees. Lorry is different. The founders we serve feel like Lorry is their personal warehouse, and that’s something special.
How Lorry is different: Lorry offers specialty fulfillment services for innovative e-commerce brands.

Fran Miller
MultiFunding
Lending, SBA focus
Steve’s take: Many small businesses get their debt stack all wrong. They get lured into MCAs and high interest loans, which really hurt their business. SBA loans are a great option that are rarely considered because getting them can be a challenge. Fran makes it easy. He takes the books and financial models we manage for our clients and he helps share the vision for growth fueled by financing with the right lenders.
How MultiFunding is different: Fran’s team has an expansive network of hundreds of lenders across the country to find the very best business loan available.
