DAC’S REVENUE–BASED FUNDING Introduction To Revenue–Based Funding Applications in Diverse Industries: The adaptability of revenue-based funding extends to its successful applications across diverse industries. In the technology sector, startups have leveraged RBF to secure capital without the immediate need for equity dilution. E-commerce businesses, facing fluctuating revenue patterns, find the flexible repayment structure of RBF advantageous. Additionally, healthcare startups, manufacturing companies, and service providers have embraced revenue-based funding as a strategic financial tool. Technology Landscape - Where rapid growth and scalability are paramount, revenue-based funding has become a popular choice for startups. Traditional venture capital routes often involve significant equity dilution, but RBF allows tech entrepreneurs to secure funding while maintaining a more substantial ownership stake. This has proven especially attractive to founders who place a premium on retaining control and decision-making power. E-commerce Sector – Where revenue cycles can be seasonal or subject to market fluctuations, the flexibility of revenue-based funding aligns well with the dynamic nature of the business. Merchants can use RBF to navigate through peak and off-peak periods without the constraints of fixed monthly payments, ensuring that the repayment structure adapts to the business's revenue reality. Healthcare Startups – With their unique challenges and lengthy development timelines, have found revenue-based funding to be a pragmatic financing solution. By linking repayments to revenue, these companies can manage cash flow more effectively, especially during phases of product development and regulatory approvals. Manufacturing Businesses – Often requiring capital for equipment upgrades or expansion projects, benefit from the adaptability of revenue-based funding. The model allows them to secure funding for specific growth initiatives without resorting to more traditional but rigid debt financing options. We want to help fund your business growth. Call 226-568-9397 speak to me Christopher to see how Revenue Based–Funding (RBF) fits your business capital needs.

Raising a pre-seed round in last year's VC environment wasn't easy, what did we learn? Focus is of the essence. Even though the environment was harsh, in the end it took us just a little longer than we planned (8 instead of 6 months) and the delay was mostly due to our lack of focus in the beginning. Darn it, fundraising is not a part-time job! Iterate, not repeat. Despite our track record, it didn't always look like we'd make it. We had to take quite some negative feedback as well, improve upon it (and not just the pitch deck) and take some different perspectives. In the end the process was really valuable to improve our company as a whole. Quality wins. We got a great team of investors with both industry expertise and potential for follow-on rounds, and we got a really fair valuation. It's a big step forward and confirms we're well on our way. Even though the mood in the VC sector may not be the best, there's still a lot of room for the right deals. Diversification helps. We combined several instruments over the past years to provide what was needed by the company at the right time. Equity, loans, grants, hybrid forms of all. Governmental aid programs may just provide the right leverage to get your business off the ground. No new findings one could add. What was your experience raising money in 2023? What do you expect for 2024? #vcfunding #seedfunding #startups #austria https://lnkd.in/dguAQG97

𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝘀. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗻𝘀: Which is the Best Choice for Your Startup? 💡 Last week at the #Up2B #Fundraising #Bootcamp, our expert Dr. Matthias Heusel broke down the crucial differences between Equity Financing and Convertible Loans. Here are the key takeaways: #EquityFinancing: • Shareholder: The investor receives shares in the company and therefore has full rights of a shareholder. • Special Investor Rights: On top of usual shareholder rights, the Investors seek for special rights (liquidation preference etc.). • Due Diligence: Requires comprehensive review of the company’s operations, financials and legal standing. • Negotiation: Often involves detailed negotiations. • Notarization: Multiple contracts being drafted and needing notarization further slow down the process. #ConvertibleLoans: • Flexibility: Startup receives a loan and is obliged to repay with interest. However, the loan can be converted into equity (shares) in the next financing rounds. • Speed : Quicker to implement with fewer legal and due diligence requirements. • Deferred Valuation: Postpones pre money-valuation until the (equity) financing round. • No Dilution: Avoids immediate equity dilution, preserving founder control and ownership stakes in the early stages. Which financing option suits your startup best?
