Getting to a successful exit takes more than money; why settle for financing from startup capital providers that offer nothing more than a term sheet? Build a runway that puts your entrepreneurial goals within reach and realize your dreams on your terms — faster — with funding from Lighter Capital.
Non-dilutive financing and the premium benefits you'd normally get only from VCs
Lighter Capital funding and connections spur Flip’s $6.5M infusion
Voice assistant developer Flip (formerly RedRoute) used three rounds of non-dilutive financing to power phenomenal growth, resulting in its acquisition of $6.5 million in VC seed funding led by ScOp Venture Capital, Bullpen Capital, and a group of angel investors.

“Lighter was brilliant because of how easy and fast it was to access capital. Being non-dilutive and affordable are great, but time is everything for a founder. The VC support was absolutely above and beyond, and included an intro to one of our eventual investors.”
Brian Schiff
Co-Founder and CEO, Flip
