GetVantage offers your online business accessible and affordable Capital advances; financing your business’ digital marketing spends so you can focus on what you do best and double down on growth.

The alternative funding model was born out of the realisation that new economy (online) businesses need a fresh financing solution that’s a native of the digital economy, and designed to work for founders and entrepreneurs by aligning with their mission and values, instead of against them.

What is Revenue-Based Financing
Revenue-Based Financing (RBF) is an alternative investment model wherein a company raises capital from an investor based on a data-driven projection of its future revenues. RBF is Non-Equity Financing, meaning the model doesn’t require founders to dilute equity and/ or control in their business. Neither does it ask founders to put up collateral or personal guarantees. The investor recovers the amount invested as a share of the business’ future revenues. That amount typically includes the principal amount plus a flat fee.

“The traditional process of raising capital is complex, cumbersome, and simply doesn’t work for all enterprises and business owners. As a result, India’s burgeoning young entrepreneurs and their digita-first businesses continue to be highly underserved,” says Bhavik Vasa, GetVantage Founder & CEO. “We are the most founder-friendly capital solution. At GetVantage, we are measuring potential not just risk and we believe Revenue-Based Financing can be a gamechanger for the Indian startup and digital enterprise ecosystem. Our model encourages companies to focus on solving problems, generating revenues, growing sustainably and staying true to their mission.”

“We’re proud to pioneer this concept in India and offer a meaningful solution that puts founders and their businesses in the driver’s seat and on a path toward sustainable growth and profitability.Hence our ethos #RevenueFirst”

Anuj Golecha, Founder, Samyakth Capital & co-founder Venture Catalyst says, “We’re excited to back GetVantage. We have complete belief in Bhavik and the team to be able to pull off something this innovative. Financing is entering an interesting phase and there is an urgent need to democratize the fundraising process. We’re excited to be at an inflection point of a new asset class getting structured in the form of Revenue-Based Financing. On a more personal level, I’m looking forward to learning a lot from GetVantage’s journey of creating a new asset class.”
