Congratulations on the launch! Such a powerful and innovative technology for such a legacy industry. Disrupting what needs to be disrupted and streamlining the industry's workflows. Excited to see the future of Backdrop.

Fresh and innovative approach on an accounting solution for a sector that desperately needs one! Congrats to the team for the launch. I'm excited to see them grow and run with this idea. There are other segments that would benefit from budget and accounting support, easy to onboard, to help them tackle their box of receipts.

Hey @akanksha_backdrop @caitlinjshort - congrats on the launch. Love what you’re building for production spend + reconciliation.

Reading through the thread, a lot of the friction seems to come from how fragmented payments get across teams (corporate cards, personal cards, cash, reimbursements) + all the edge cases studios have to manage.

At Astrada we’re focused on BYOC (Bring Your Own Card), letting productions keep using the cards they already have (or prefer), while still getting centralized controls + clean expense visibility/workflows across departments.

Feels like a natural complement to Backdrop’s spend + reporting layer. Would love to connect if you’re open to exploring a partnership angle.

Here's our PH page for reference.
