Starters Funded
We provide funding towards a stronger business.
Starters Funded combines non-dilutive financing with experienced startup operators to strengthen your business. Together, we develop and execute a practical plan for greater profitability, stronger cash flow, and less dependence on outside funding.
No fee for an initial review. Funding is selective.
Funding without dilution. Repayment tied to results.
Non-dilutive capital
Finance the agreed plan without issuing equity or changing ownership.
Repayment tied to results
Repayment comes from an agreed share of available business cash flow. The total repayment amount is set upfront, and stronger performance means faster repayment.
A plan backed by experience
Work with operators who have built and led startups through similar challenges.
Operators who execute
Starters take hands-on roles in delivering the plan alongside company leadership.
The process
How it works
Tell us about your company
Share where the business stands, what you want to accomplish, and what’s getting in the way.
Develop a plan with Starters
Agree on the operating changes, budget, and responsibilities needed to strengthen the business and support its founders.
Fund and execute
For selected companies, Starters Funded finances the plan. Experienced operators take hands-on roles and may defer part of their compensation to participate in the results.
Repay as the business generates cash
An agreed share of available cash goes toward repayment, after operating costs, founder compensation, and reserves. The funding obligation ends when the agreed total has been repaid.
Who is it for?
Starters Funded is for companies that:
- Have revenue and paying customers.
- Have founders who want to keep running the business.
- Are ready to make operating changes and work alongside experienced operators.
You may already be profitable, need a boost, or be ready to build a future that doesn’t depend on another funding round.
