Lighter Capital provides revenue-based financing to small businesses to fund growth in return for a small percentage of future years’ revenues. Lighter Capital and revenue-based financing is intended for early-stage businesses that have established success and are primed for growth, but are cash-constrained and need access to capital with no dilution, no loss of control, and no fixed repayment schedule.
As a pioneer in providing revenue-based loans to startups, Lighter Capital is responsible for bringing the funding application and negotiation process online – enabling applicants to have complete visibility into every aspect of the evaluation process. Additionally, Lighter Capital provides its portfolio companies with access to a unique set of support resources, such as executive counsel and marketing assistance.
“Being recognized by the WTIA is an honor and a tribute to the efforts of the Lighter Capital team,” said Andy Sack, CEO of Lighter Capital. “It’s also a testament to the success of the small businesses we’ve funded not only here in the Pacific Northwest – but around the country. At the end of the day, their success is our success, so we’re happy to share this honor with them.”
