Lighter Capital

Lighter Capital provides revenue-based financing to technology companies. The idea is that a startup can raise growth capital using its recurring income, without selling shares or giving personal guarantees, warrants or covenants.

What Lighter Capital does

• Online application: a short process with status tracking and no pitch deck or business plan required.
• Founder community: a network of chief executives and founders.
• Partner discounts: savings on products and services, and startup services from Silicon Valley Bank.
• Guides and reports: e-books and an industry report on non-dilutive funding.
