A founder's guide to revenue-based financing as a capital strategy for scaling SaaS businesses
In this episode, Isaac Souweine speaks with Kevin Houston, founder of Duration Growth Advisors, about debt financing as an alternative funding strategy for software companies, especially bootstrappers and other denizens of the "messy middle". The conversation is grounded in the concept of matching duration of financing capital to the expected company outcome. Within that framework, Kevin and Isaac explore when debt can be a good fit, how to evaluate options across stages of company development, and how to manage risk. They also take a crack at the en vogue concept of "seed-strapping."
