Frequently Asked Questions

 
What types of loans do you offer? Most of our loans are principal & interest loans, though we also offer revenue-based loans in some situations.
How is the interest rate determined? The interest rate is based on balance sheet strength. The better your cash-to-debt ratio, the lower the rate.
Do you require a personal guarantee? We believe founders should be able to separate their personal finances from their business finances. As a result we do not require a personal guarantee.
Is there a pre-payment penalty? No, there is no pre-payment penalty. We believe founders should be able to repay early without penalty.
Do you have restrictions on how the loan money is used? We fund specific growth projects that will drive near-term revenue. We do not provide funding for general operating purposes, to fund payroll or to bridge to another funding round.
How do you select companies for funding? We focus on understanding the economic fundamentals of each company to determine the likelihood they have sufficient cashflow to repay a loan in the near-term. We put particular emphasis on understanding the unit economics (contribution margin) of the product or service you sell as we believe that is a strong predictor of long-term viability.
Does you company offer additional funding as companies grow? We often provide multiple loans to the same company if they have a strong track record of repayment.
