Non-Dilutive capital: What are the options out there for startup founders?

6/3/2021

16 Comments

 
Picture
For those founders who are not seeking equity financing at this time, or who are in between equity financing rounds, what kinds of alternatives exist in the financing landscape? 

Our startup clientele often explore a number of non-dilutive financing options, as VC financing is one of the most expensive types of capital.  Examples include loans, grants (i.e., research grants, translational grants, grants from Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs), and royalty-financing, among others.  [FN1]

One of the most common questions we receive from our clients pertains to the difference between a regular loan and revenue based financing.  It is a hot topic in the startup community as startups explore alternatives to VC and begin to learn more about the benefits of non-dilutive financing options.  [FN 2]

To that end, our friend, Zach Hoene of Lighter Capital has provided this handy one-page executive summary as to two non-dilutive options (regular term loans and revenue based financing) for your consideration.  If you have any follow up questions, please feel free to reach out to Zach directly at  zhoene@lightercapital.com.

Good day everyone, I'm Lynn Cotton from Oregon, USA and I'm going to share information about Spyweb Cyber, and how they helped recover the $40,000 in Bitcoins that was stolen away from me. I was taken advantage of by a fake cryptocurrency investment company pretending to help people double their investments. I was told Bitcoin is impossible to trace once you lose it but after coming across a post about Spyweb cyber, a reputable cryptocurrency recovery company. I contacted them immediately and was able to recover everything I lost. I’m sharing this with anyone who might need their services.
Their contact is (Spyweb@cyberdude . com)

HIRE A CERTIFIED AND GUARANTEED CRYPTO RECOVERY AND PHONE SPYING EXPERT AT BRYAN D HACK HUB INC

Finding out that your husband or wife has been unfaithful isn’t just a time of profound heartbreak and shock, it’s also a time of intense confusion . At certain points desperate measures are our only resort and we take them, finding a trustworthy infiltrator can be a lifeline and I sure used one to save my relationship, business and sanity. I was having real life problems when my friend recommended Bryan to me. I contacted him because my business partner was shaking me, stealing money from the business. Also my spouse was always up at odd hours clearly this is a sign that my spouse is cheating, so the hacker cloned/hacked into their devices and granted me total access to their devices without their knowledge. I was overwhelmed that I could see my business partner hidden finances that were off records and read their old and new text messages, see new and deleted pictures, emails, call logs, Facebook, messenger, WhatsApp, Snapchat, GPS location in real time among other things off my spouse phone. If you require the services of a private investigator (EC council certified personnel), you can speak to Team Bryan at BRYANDHACK(@) Gmail, com . You will be glad you did. For the purpose getting him comfortable working with you, it is advisable you make reference to this post as it would save you a lot of back and forth while ensuring you are not some kid playing around.

I started the year with bad credit, lingering debts and derogatory record which was affecting my ability to finance a new home.. I tried a few credit restoration firms but all were abortive until I saw a post about GearHeadPanacea. Com, I reached out to them and shockingly they helped cleaned up my derogatories and raised my score to 780 in a short period which has qualified me for a new home. Anyone else with bad scores can visit their website or reach out to them on Gearheadcyberpanacea AT gmail DOT com.

You can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr. Odunga

When I met Dr. Odunga, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman of 41 and I have been married for 21 years. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age until I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr. Odunga. Within 48 hours of contacting him, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after 5 months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr. Odunga of my bareness for him to help me. He did the spell for fertility and after 48 hours of completing it, I conceived. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a baby girl.
Presently, I am a mother of a beautiful baby girl and I am happy in my relationship. This is all thanks to Dr. Odunga and his wonderful work. Contact Dr. Odunga Via Whats-App number +2348167159012. Email at: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com

In a desperate attempt to recover my funds I approached a certain recovery firm which scammed me $6500. If that was not enough, their ex-employee contacted me and he again scammed me $2000. I became completely broke and wondered how I naively trusted them, though I was desperate. In my research for a solution once again, I read reviews about Software Specialist on how he deals with easy recovery since he specializes in bitcoin wallet recovery tools. I tried to contact him through his mail at softwarespecialist@usa.com, he gave me his word that he was going to help and he kept his word since he was able to completely retrieve my stolen assets within a few days I contacted him. He is more than capable of solving such common problems and an expert in tracking stolen crypto funds. After my first experience, I had doubts because I was scared of being defrauded again online but thanks to him that did not happen.

I can indeed fathom the suffering endured by others at the hands of these dishonest people posing as bitcoin dealers and miners. After meeting someone who claimed to be an account manager and could help me make significant returns on my investments, I recently had a once-in-a-lifetime experience with them. When it was time for me to take my winnings from my large investment with them, they logged me out of my account and instructed me to add additional funds to their account. Before I realized they were fraudsters, it was already too late. I had already lost $180,000 worth of Bitcoin to their shady platform. Despite feeling down and ashamed, I started exploring for ways to get my money back and stumbled into an article called computer speciallist. I don't know how they accomplished it, but computer speciallist was able to recover my money in just 5 hours, helping thousands of customers to recover their money from fraudulent transactions. computer speciallist is a reliable and you can help you get your money back, Get in touch with them using the details below: computerspeciallist(@)engineer(.)com

I would encourage anyone who is unfamiliar with crypto trading to exercise extreme caution while investing or to avoid crypto altogether. I was deceived to deposit a huge portion of my life savings on a forex platform to gain more profit. I lost about 150,000USD to this evil scheme. After investing and my profits had accumulated I was denied withdrawals of my funds. I wrote to the customer support but all to no avail, then I knew I had been scammed. After a lot of searching on how I could get help, I was just lucky and blessed to have met a real deal retrieval agent at softwarespecialist@usa.com. I decided to give a try and I described my position to him, and he assured me that he would assist me in recovering my funds. Truth be told, he did an excellent job and all of my money was returned to my wallet account in a matter of days, I’m so grateful to have met a person with such great skills it’s really amazing.

I'm profoundly appreciative to Tech Savvy Hacker for being able to retrieve my BTC. I'm sharing this testimonial with everyone who has lost money due to a bunch of individuals posing as Forex and cryptocurrency investors. I am aware that many individuals have lost money in bitcoin because they believe it is untraceable. I, too, lost $210,000 to the same bitcoin scams, and I believed it was lost forever until I read an article about Tech Savvy Hacker, A team of hackers who are capable of quickly locating and recovering lost cryptocurrencies. After giving all the necessary information to Tech Savvy Hacker, my bitcoins were successfully restored to my wallet, and I was able to access my BTC. I sincerely appreciate that Tech Savvy Hacker exists to assist folks in recuperating their stolen funds. Reach out to them via email: techsavvy@hackermail.com

I have had problems regarding Crypto scam and my case was slightly different as it was involving me with some family members and friends. My family and friends invested to this scam and I was blindfolded on the negative part this turned out to be and that we collectively lost 250,000 euros. I was the first to invest and after a period of time they did pay me with interest. They asked me if I would refer some members to my down line and I involved some few family members and friends to invest as well. When it was time for us to take our return, the system declined and never approved our withdrawal. The support system kept asking for more fees and we paid more but all our funds was still held back. I had to get help immediately since I realized that we had been scammed and this was because of me. It happened that I was just going through some testimonials and I came across Software Specialist. I came across his contacts email: softwarespecialist@gmail.com, Phone No: +16465099630. After giving him all details of how everything happened and how we had made all payment to them, we also sent him some screenshots. He then went on with the recovery. The process was quite a successful one because we later got everything back to my wallet just within few days of the exercise.

For the past few months, I had been feeling that something wasn't right in my marriage. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I thought my husband was being unfaithful. I needed proof, but wasn't sure how to get it. That's when I heard about Grayhathacks, a team of hackers who specialize in helping people like me.

The team at Grayhathacks was incredibly professional and accommodating. They were keen on understanding my situation and ensuring that I felt comfortable with their methods. After an initial consultation, they were able to hack into my husband's devices and spy on him. They provided me with evidence that was essential for my divorce proceedings.

The evidence I received from Grayhathacks was clear and incontrovertible. I was able to confront my husband with the proof and, in the end, he confessed to being unfaithful. Thanks to Grayhathacks, I was able to get through this difficult time in my life that is now in my past.

I highly recommend Grayhathacks to anyone who is in a similar situation as I was. Their level of professionalism is unrivaled and if I could I'd do more than just giving them a shout out on here. I can guarantee that if you are in need of spying for proof of infidelity, Grayhathacks is the team that I RECOMMEND. They are the best in what they do.

You can contact them via email at grayhathacks@contractor.net

My $112,000 worth of cryptocurrency was stolen by con criminals impersonating a group of investors. A few months ago, I was tricked into the trading platform with the prospect of daily profits of 20%. When it was time to withdraw, they ordered that I make additional payments on their website. I completed all the fees, but I still couldn't withdraw money from my profits. At this stage, I understood that I and many other people had been misled. Because of this, I felt so depressed that I almost lost focus at work. As a result, I got to know Spyware Cyber Recovery agency, a clever and quick hacker. I emailed them and explained my situation to them. After maintaining contact with these fake investors for a few hours, Spyware Cyber recovered my stolen cryptocurrency. For assistance with recovering stolen digital assets, including cryptocurrency, send your complaint via, spyware(@)cybergal.com / contact(@)cybegal.com / WhatsApp Number: +19892640381

"As much as I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball drawing, the real winner is the California public school system". No one would convince me that winning this lottery Powerball or mega millions is not something that changes the way and view of life's prospects. My name is Edwin Castro and I am from California, United States. I won the Powerball Lottery on Nov 7 2022 and I am coming to say a wonderful and big thanks to Dr Anokokudo for helping me with the winning numbers for the Powerball Lottery. I was really overwhelmed the day I contacted Dr Anokokudo to help me win the California Powerball Lottery when he instructed me what to do. The time came to play the lottery and I did and believe me, it was exhilarating. I won the Powerball $2.04 Billion and collected the lump sum of $997.6 Million and the November Powerball drawing raised a record $156.3 million for the California public school system. I am indeed thankful to Dr Anokokudo and others who helped me with his contact. Anyone who reads my comments should also try to contact Dr Anokokudo at ANOKOKUDOTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM
