Growth

Sometimes dubbed the “startup valley of death”, cracking product market fit for a business is a notoriously difficult milestone. Surprisingly, however, many valuable businesses who have summited this stage of their growth journey still struggle to access strategic long term funding – resulting in multiple investment rounds with an emphasis on top line revenue that pushes profitability, and thereby strategic autonomy, farther and farther back.

We launched the Growth strategy to support the underserved segment of entrepreneurs who have graduated from the venture stage and are now seeking a strategic funding partner that will back them for the long term. Given these businesses have achieved proven value creation, the startup mentality of ‘taking iterative moonshot bets’ is far in the rearview mirror. We as credit investors can then stand risk aligned with the entrepreneurs in the goal of building organizations that are, above all, enduring and impactful.
