Introducing Our 2022 Alternative Financing Partner: Pipe
Bootstrapping ≠ stunted growth…
Financing a bootstrapped SaaS company can be difficult. Your customers are the only source of revenue you have, which may or may not be enough to grow in tandem with demand.
That is why Pipe has been on our radar since its launch in June 2020. Pipe is a trading platform that offers non-dilutive financing by treating recurring revenue streams as an asset. Piping revenue allows businesses to take up-front capital to fill the CAC payback period cash-flow gap.
MicroConf + Pipe
We’re excited to announce that MicroConf + Pipe are teaming up this year to help growth-stage founders get the $$ they need to take their business to the next level.
For those who don’t know, Pipe is a trading platform that enables entrepreneurs to grow their businesses on their terms. By treating recurring revenue streams as an asset, Pipe transforms your recurring revenue into up-front capital, instantly.
When you’re bootstrapping your SaaS company, an alternative financing solution like Pipe just might be the resource you need to access growth capital to scale.
When you have healthy recurring revenue, financing growth is all about timing. You can’t always wait for your monthly revenue to fund big growth projects. Many SaaS companies end up offering steep discounts to incentivize up-front payment from their customers, but this can do serious damage to your profit margins. Pipe lets you pull your revenue forward and speed up your cash flow to fund growth without offering discounts.
For entrepreneurs, that means more cash flow for scaling their business without restrictive debt or dilution.
Accessing capital through Pipe’s platform is fast, flexible, and automated—designed for founders to grow their businesses on their terms and at their pace.
And right now, the MicroConf community can access tens of thousands of dollars, even millions, fee-free for 12 months. Sign up at pipe.com/MicroConf to start trading today.
We will be presenting a few case studies over the next year to highlight scenarios where alternative financing makes sense for founders in the Microverse, and the team at Pipe are on hand to help anyone wanting to learn more!
