Looking back, Lighter Capital had a great 2013, and we’re more excited than ever about what lies ahead. We can’t wait to help even more businesses flex their super powers through revenue based financing.
We are providing more capital to more companies than ever before.
We have some great new partnerships with Salesforce and Microsoft Bizspark
We’ve got our Lighter Capital Referral Program off and running for those who help us find great companies to fund.
More capital for more companies like yours
Just today, Lighter Capital closed our 39th investment with Influence Technologies, a video-based marketing solutions company and a financing that we closed in less than 4 weeks.
We also recently closed financings with Resident Research, a leading provider of resident screening services to the property management industry, and with FullCircle CRM, a marketing data and analytics company and Salesforce ISV partner. Full Circle CRM represents our 6th Salesforce ISV investment.
Our biggest financing to date was just last month with Redspin, a provider of IT security assessments and testing services to the health industry.
We continue to improve our online application process in order to make the whole experience simple, easy and fast. We now seamlessly integrate with your Quickbooks and CRM data, saving you the hassle of exporting and formatting reports and spreadsheets.
Great partners that can help your business
Our success entirely depends on the success of the companies we work with. So we are teaming up with industry partners such as Salesforce.com and Microsoft to better serve our customers and provide access to some great opportunities and resources.
At Dreamforce this year we were proud to be the AppExchange Premier Funding Partner and to moderate a panel of our customers – thanks to FullCircle CRM, Steelbrick, Cloudbilt and IPfolio – who shared their funding stories and lessons.
We are a Microsoft Bizspark Plus Partner and can provide companies with access to the $60,000 Windows Azure offer – which covers cloud computing costs for 12 months.
(Update February 14th, 2018: Microsoft no longer accepts applications into the BizSpark program, as it is discontinued. Instead, you’ll want to go look into the Microsoft for Startups program).
We have also teamed up with Avangate, Zuora, SaaSMax and others. So check out our Network Partners Page and stay tuned for more offers, help and resources throughout 2014.
Help us get more great companies funded
This year we started our Lighter Capital Referral Program. If you are a broker, business consultant or advisor that works with small, fast growing technology or technology service companies we would love to help get your companies funded. You can register for our program here.
Happy New Year and we wish you great success in 2014!
