Growth Capital, Done Differently // The Riverside Company
About us
Business building has certainly changed with the advent of modern cloud paradigms. These platforms have shifted the way products are built and companies are scaled, simultaneously offering reduced technology risk with improved capital efficiency. As a result, today’s software companies are scaling faster than ever before, against an ever broadening set of market opportunities. Yet, despite these innovations in business building, funding innovation has not kept pace. We believe there remains a time for traditional venture models, but that often an alternative is needed. Riverside Acceleration Capital gives companies the capital needed to grow their business, launch new products and maximize value without diluting ownership, control, or optionality. We do so by delivering the right amount of capital at the right stages of growth and development. Our unique model and backing help us to support our companies across their entire lifecycle.

Agile isn't just for engineers. Listen to Anthony Welgemoed, CEO of RAC portfolio company Ziflow, share his thoughts on how marketing teams can apply an agile approach to help ensure clear focus and priority alignment. 👇 #Leadership #Marketing
CEO & Founder @ Ziflow | Leading Innovation in Online Proofing | Former CTO at ProofHQ, Successfully Exited to Adobe Workfront
Most marketing teams feel insanely chaotic—emailed approvals, no focused priorities, zero accountability. Ziflow's marketing team operates VERY differently. Here’s how we ended the chaos: Back in 2021, I had a meeting with my CMO. He told me his creative department felt slightly chaotic—new projects would come in and they'd change what they were working on. They couldn’t focus on anything because they were always shifting gears. As an engineer, this sounded familiar. People don’t often think of engineering teams as “creative”—but they are. They’re coming up with innovative solutions, juggling competing priorities, delivering on deadline. Just like marketing teams. So I suggested we try an Agile approach to our marketing team. We gave it a shot, and now we’ve been doing it for almost 4 years. Here’s how it works: – Our CMO and PM decide what to focus on in the 2-week sprint – The team gives those tasks their FULL focus – The team holds daily standups to report on progress Rinse and repeat. As a CEO, I like it because I know what’s going on. The team likes it because there’s no guesswork—priorities are clear. When there’s transparency, clarity, and focus, there’s no room for chaos—only results.

Congratulations to RAC portfolio company Cloud Factory on their impressive new office space! This achievement reflects the growth journey we've been proud to support and signals an exciting chapter ahead. We’re looking forward to the innovation that can emerge from this new workspace! ✨ #GrandOpening #Growth
What a housewarming! Yesterday, we officially opened our new office in Esbjerg. And in true Cloud Factory style, it was anything but standard. We celebrated not just a new location but the growth that made it necessary. Since 2022, we’ve 3X’ed our IT partners and 5X’ed the Microsoft licenses that runs through us and our incredible partners. Yesterday, we welcomed what felt like 200+ guests to celebrate with us. We lost count. But what we do know? The energy and support from all our friends, investors, and partners is just incredible. Big thanks to everyone who dropped by and all the people who made yesterday an absolute blast💓🎶

We’re proud to feature RAC portfolio company sevdesk in our latest case study. When they approached us last year, sevdesk was looking for a partner that could help them extend their runway while preserving optionality. They selected RAC, citing our entrepreneurial and pragmatic approach as a key factor. In 2025, sevdesk was acquired by Cegid, a key European player in cloud management solutions. Despite the short partnership, we thoroughly enjoyed working with the team and are excited to see what this new chapter has in store.
