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.

Congrats to RAC portfolio company Freeeway AG on continuing to innovate the Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity market. Freeeway's new pricing model, charging a flat rate per IoT device, replaces the traditional usage-based, per-megabyte pricing. This model enables resellers to benefit from recurring revenue streams through device-specific subscriptions, rather than trying to predict and control the ebbs and flows of data usage.

Are you overlooking the true impact of #connectivity on your IoT success by focusing only on per-megabyte costs? https://lnkd.in/gSr59uAF #IoT #smartdevices #reseller

The recent CrowdStrike outage was a stark reminder of the impact technology disruptions and cybersecurity incidents can have on a company's finances and reputation. Jerry Layden, CEO of RAC portfolio company CyberSaint, recently shared his thoughts on how such incidents can affect a company’s valuation and the steps CEOs can take to mitigate these risks. Check it out on Forbes: https://lnkd.in/gdyCAJGX
If you don't think #cyberrisk poses one of the most significant risks to your company's #valuation, think again. In my recent Forbes article, I discuss how recent incidents have exposed the staggering #financialimpact of cyber threats, demanding CEOs to dive deep into how cybersecurity is assessed and the relevance of the data from their CISO counterparts. Security leaders agree, there are critical flaws in relying on manual cyber risk assessments and outdated spreadsheets. This outdated method is a ticking time bomb. The answer? Embrace #automation for modern cyber risk management, fueled by continuous assessment, cross-departmental collaboration, and a proactive strategy. CEOs and Boards must support their #CISO counterparts and act now to protect their organizations from becoming the next headline. Read the article below!
