We're currently raising funding through EIS, and I wanted to share an offer we received a few weeks ago - mostly because I found it so scary that there are people out there offering these sorts of terms, and I feel like they deserve to be aired publicly: - A £250k loan, with at an interest rate of 1.75% (£4375) per MONTH (21% a year!) - Charges over the company, personal guarantees from the founders, first/second charges over an additional residential property - Bullet repayment of capital at the end of a two-year (!) term We get a lot of crazy inbounds - there's an entire industry built around the fact that fundraising is a stressful ordeal, and that those going through it are likely to accept less than favourable terms to lower their stress levels - but this one absolutely blew me away. To think that after a year, a start-up would have already paid >£50k interest, and have a capital repayment due in a years time otherwise risk losing both the business and their homes.. Is it fair to consider that borderline predatory lending?

There is no more free money, and now Private Funds are playing a zero-sum game for LP money. This market heavily incentivizes scaling of the funds' fundraising teams And, I've seen that pull firsthand since the New Year. Teams thinking about building in-house tech solutions, and a fund has actually done it. Today, we release GovernGPT v1.1: "The fundraising copilot for private funds" And now, filling out due diligence questionnaires goes from days to hours. #HedgeFunds #PrivateCredit #PrivateEquity #Secondaries

What is Givematch? 🤔 It's something I've taken great pride in explaining as I am passionate about our product and about the positive impact we have on the causes that charities are raising money towards. 😍 But now, I don't need to explain it in my own words! Our talented team have created this short video to demonstrate the power of match funding via GiveMatch. 💰 I would encourage anyone who is fundraising, or any charities who are looking for ways to raise more without additional efforts, to spend 94 seconds watching this video! 📺 I'm happy to speak more about it too, so do still reach out to me to ask me "What is Givematch?" #GiveMatch #DoubleYourDonation #Charity #Fundraising
