Quick, Non-Dilutive Capital for Entrepreneurs

The cost of equity capital is getting expensive; debt or working capital might be a better option if you're already generating revenue, and it's non-dilutive.

We've made it easier than ever to get matched with private capital providers and receive offers in minutes, not weeks or months.

You'd be surprised to learn what you qualify for.

Paul Kromidas, Founder of Summer, Ran a Structured Fundraising Process to Raise $80M+ 

                                   

In this episode, we have Paul Kromidas, the mastermind behind Summer, a game-changing vacation home company that's turning heads with over $11 Million raised during their seed round and another $18 Million in series A and a $50M debt facility. 

We're talking practical empathy, perfect timing, and a killer structured process.  Paul shares his insights and advice for founders on how to craft tailored narratives that speak directly to different investors and the importance of hiring the right experts. 
A quick tip: If you're considering debt capital, Paul is the person you should listen to, as he has secured a $50 million debt facility for Summer Inc.
