Who do we fund?
SaaS startups that are located in the United States, Canada, or Australia and have surpassed $200K ARR can get up to $4 million from us to accelerate growth, without giving up equity or control of their business.
Sound like any startups you know? If they need capital to grow, we’d love an introduction!

Open Avenues to New Business and Revenue
Just like the startups we fund, we believe slow and steady wins the race. Though we average 100 quality applications a week—more than 3,000 each year—only a fraction of them make it into our portfolio. It’s never easy telling talented founders no; but we can pay it forward by referring them to the right partners, and that could be you.

"Having worked with Lighter Capital and referred founders to them, I highly recommend their non-dilutive financing options for capital-efficient SaaS businesses. Founders not only retain ownership and control, but also they can use the capital to delay or navigate a venture raise until valuations become favorable. I've seen several founders use Lighter's financing to go straight to a larger growth equity round. A big plus is that you don’t need equity sponsorship to get funded by Lighter Capital, which enables founders to raise capital on their preferred timelines and terms."
