Funding growth in a tight VC market
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the community. As a former serial founder of Saas companies, a former VC and now a provider of non-dilutive revenue-based funding, I'd love to help you with your strategy for funding growth this year.

I'm curious how many of you are looking at debt/non-dilutive funding and how many of you have been successful with securing equity term sheets in this environment. Do you have strategies/tips to share? Do you have questions you'd like for the rest of us to weigh in on?

Hi Leah,

Great question! If you'd like, please add your LinkedIn to your NachoNacho profile and it will show up next to your name, allowing new prospects to connect with you over on your professional profile as well.

I personally know quite a few CPG companies that would be interested in non-dilutive revenue-based funding. Do you guys also do inventory loans? In my experience having been the CEO of a CPG B2C company, it's always best if the company can bring some sort of retail contracts and other collateral to the offer to get lower rates. I think a lot of the community here and others in my network would love to learn more about what criteria needs to be met in order to work with you.

Navigating a tight VC market is always challenging. We've found that focusing on organic growth, optimizing operations, and building strong relationships can help create sustainable funding pathways.

How much on average do you save with NachoNacho?
Hi I'm curious how much companies save on average by using NachoNacho?
And how long does it take to set up NachoNacho for our org?

T
Feb 8, 2023
Hi Thomas, we've been using NachoNacho for over two years, and have saved at least $10k over that time. We're a 12 people company, and have more than 65 SaaS subscriptions! It's so easy to lost track of them. We were able to set up an account within a couple of days... NachoNacho individually verifies each account, so I guess it depends on their backlog?
S
Feb 10, 2023
It depends on how many SaaS subscriptions you have. We're a small team and we use the basics including Canva for design, Active Campaign for email and Clickup for CRM. For ActiveCampaign alone, we save around $1k/year since we do a lot of email marketing campaigns. Not sure if they have a case study, might be a good idea to check it out too.

Startup Financing in the Age of Uncertainty
Hi everyone, I was happy to participate in the NachoTuesday webinar last week. Do you have questions about raising venture funding, using non-dilutive funding to bridge or to reduce dilution or anything? Please let me know.

We caught your webinar and it was super insightful. Currently, we're navigating the fundraising landscape for our startup. Any tips on balancing venture funding with non-dilutive options during uncertain times? We'd really appreciate your insights!
Leah Edwards
Aug 31, 2023
But as a general comment - most of the companies we've recently funded are bridging to a future venture round, when they will have more revenue and when the overall market may be more competitive, giving better relative valuations.

QuickBooks interface is generally considered to be intuitive and user-friendly. I use it on a regular basis.

It may be a bit confusing at first, especially for someone who's new to accounting software or have not used QuickBooks before. I'd suggest to check their resources like knowledge base or reach out to customer support.
