Investment thesis
Decathlon Capital Partners aims to democratize access to growth-stage capital, arguing that conventional equity-based funding is misaligned with business owners' interests and too costly or restrictive for many companies. With over 15 years of experience backing hundreds of growth-focused businesses, its team of former entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and senior operators offers non-dilutive financing so companies can grow while retaining the value they create. The firm targets North America-based businesses with at least two years of operating history, annual revenue between $4M and $100M, growth rates of 10% or more, attractive gross margins, experienced management, and near-term visibility to becoming cashflow-positive.
