$1M Annual Revenue Minimum
We partner with growth-stage companies that have proven market traction and high potential to scale. Which is why all investments made must have achieved at least $1M in annualized revenue, showing a clear path to scale.
To demonstrate your ability to scale, we look for defined strategic goals and a roadmap for execution. This means a strong leadership team must be in place or a plan to bring in the right people to drive your growth strategy.
Flexible Capital Structures
Many of the entrepreneurs we support have not received traditional equity capital, often relying on bootstrapping, bank debt, or lines of credit to meet immediate needs.
To meet founders where they are, we provide revenue-based financing, preferred equity with dividends, and other flexible investment structures that accommodate the payment schedules our high-potential entrepreneurs are used to.
Our expectation, however, is to achieve equity-equivalent returns, typically ranging between 2x and 6x our investment.
