Investment thesis
Clearco offers non-dilutive, revenue-based funding to scaling direct-to-consumer ecommerce and SaaS businesses. It provides working capital for inventory, marketing, vendor payments, and growth without taking equity, requiring personal guarantees, or imposing restrictive terms. Products include Fixed Funding Capacity for predictable one-time capital, Rolling Funding Capacity that replenishes as businesses repay, Invoice Funding to pay suppliers directly, and Cash Advance for flexible drawdowns. Eligible businesses run U.S.-incorporated DTC ecommerce or SaaS operations with at least 12 months of consistent revenue exceeding $100,000 per month. Applications are typically reviewed within 24 hours, and pricing scales with business performance.
