Growth Capital Lending
Fund growth without giving away the company.
Revenue-based financing and SaaS term loans underwritten on ARR quality — not EBITDA. Non-dilutive capital that compounds your equity.
The Math
Equity is expensive. Debt is often cheaper.
Most SaaS founders reflexively reach for equity every time they need capital. But at exit multiples of 4–6× ARR, every dollar of equity you sell today is worth three or four at the finish line.
When the use of funds is proven — scaling a channel that works, funding a known customer acquisition motion, bridging to the next milestone — non-dilutive debt is almost always the better tool.
| Scenario | Capital deployed | Equity cost at 5× exit |
|---|---|---|
| Equity round | $1M at 10% dilution | $500K+ in lost exit value |
| Revenue-based financing | $1M at 1.25× cap | $250K total cost |
| SaaS term loan | $1M at 12% interest | $120K total cost |
Illustrative. Actual terms vary by company profile and use of proceeds.
The SaaS Capital Flywheel.
01
Deploy into proven channels
Use non-dilutive debt to scale acquisition channels with demonstrated payback — not to experiment.
02
ARR expands
Revenue growth increases enterprise value and ARR multiple, improving borrowing terms on future facilities.
03
Equity retained
Founders and existing shareholders own more of a larger business — compounding advantage at exit.
04
Refinance at better terms
Higher ARR and stronger unit economics unlock larger facilities at lower cost — the flywheel accelerates.
Two products. One purpose.

Underwriting
What we look at — and why.
ARR & Growth Rate
Minimum: $1M ARR
The size and trajectory of your ARR is our primary credit indicator. We're lending against future recurring revenue, not against current assets or collateral.
Net Revenue Retention
Minimum: 90% NRR
NRR tells us whether your existing customer base is a stable foundation or a leaky bucket. Strong NRR means the ARR we're lending against is durable.
Gross Margins
Minimum: 65% gross margin
Gross margin determines whether growth creates value or just revenue. Below 65%, most SaaS companies struggle to generate the operating leverage needed to service debt.
Use of Proceeds
Proven channels only
We fund growth in channels with demonstrated CAC payback under 18 months. We don't fund experiments — we accelerate what's working.
Financial Reporting
Monthly cadence required
Borrowers provide monthly P&L, ARR bridge, and cash flow statement. Not burdensome — the companies that do this already are the ones we want to work with.
Management Quality
Qualitative assessment
We underwrite the team, not just the metrics. Self-aware founders with disciplined operating habits are a better credit than high-growth teams with chaotic operations.
