“At key times during our growth, Lighter Capital got us the funding we needed fast, allowing us to invest in the business and not to be distracted by fundraising.”
“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.”
“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.”
