Decathlon Capital Partners offers non-dilutive growth lending and venture debt to established, revenue-generating businesses, allowing founders to fund expansion without giving up equity, control, personal guarantees, or entering lengthy fundraising cycles. The firm targets companies with an operating history of at least two years, annual revenues between $4M and $100M, growth rates of 10% or more, attractive gross margins, experienced management teams, North America-based operations, and near-term visibility to cash-flow-positive status. It emphasizes patient, flexible, custom-tailored funding and long-term partnerships across many industries.
