From a Founder’s Perspective: What is Out There if You Don’t Want to Dilute?


Listen Later

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Denis Mosolov, Managing Partner Venture Debt at Flashpoint, as he discusses what's out there (from a founder's perspective) if you don't want to dilute.
"It's a big challenge for us, because you know if your company's really going to take-off and show growth levels that are exciting for the VC community, you do need to invest and you do need to know how to raise capital. That's a skill that the founders need to have and so it is a red flag for me if something is like 100% bootstrapped, because there's a big question mark - 'are you guys actually able to raise capital?'"
Denis shares:
💫 Humble beginnings, half a billion under management, and three product lines later: Flashpoint's founding story
💫 The current state of venture debt: from 'flight to brand' to extension rounds
💫 Different sources of capital and their requirements - asset backed debt, convertibles, government subsidies, revenue-based financing, venture debt and more
💫 When a founder would want to borrow against inventory vs seek out flexible non-dilutive capital, to non-dilutive expensive 'royalties'
💫 His advice to 'hustle, scramble, make quick decisions, and be proactive'
and more!
