“With our third financing from Lighter Capital, we chose the Lighter Term Loan because of its predictability. We know exactly how much we’re paying each month, regardless of the ups and downs in our sales cycle.”
“Maintaining equity and control in exchange for capital was extremely important to us. The first round of revenue-based financing allowed us to accelerate faster, take more risks, not worry about penny-pinching, hire the right people, and empowered us to be better entrepreneurs.”
“Entrepreneurs should consider Lighter Capital's financing as an option for growing their business. It's often cheaper than selling equity. And the model allows Lighter to lend to earlier stage companies and provide more flexible repayment terms.”
