Bootstrapped Founders Are Using Revenue-Based Financing Without Losing Control
from The Bootstrapped Tech Founder with Fexingo: Profitable Software Companies Without VC · host Fexingo
Episode 22 of The Bootstrapped Tech Founder explores how bootstrapped software companies use revenue-based financing (RBF) to fund growth without diluting equity or taking venture debt. Lucas and Luna break down how RBF works, why it suits recurring-revenue businesses, and what founders should watch out for—using the example of a real SaaS company that raised $500k in RBF to double its customer base. They compare RBF to traditional loans, venture capital, and bootstrapping from cash flow, and discuss the trade-offs between fixed repayment percentages and revenue volatility. If you're a founder or operator considering alternative funding, this episode gives you the concrete numbers and decision framework to evaluate RBF. #RevenueBasedFinancing #BootstrappedTech #SaaS #AlternativeFunding #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NonDilutiveCapital #GrowthFunding #RecurringRevenue #FounderFriendly #ProfitFirst #StartupFinance #CashFlow #Entrepreneurship #NoVC #SustainableGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
