Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
One of the most exciting, and frankly necessary, elements of the startup journey is financing. Securing capital before entering a major growth phase, usually by way of Venture Capital funding. There’s an obvious trade-off though that most startups just accept – diluted ownership.
Arc is hailing itself as the future of startup financing with a platform that offers debt funding and digital banking services to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) startups. Rather than giving up a percentage stake in the company, users can borrow from forecasted future earnings.
It’s proving very popular too - the company claimed to have over 1,000 users just eight months after emerging from stealth. The fact that Arc is partnered with Stripe has no doubt boosted its reputation, while its singular focus on SaaS startups could actually boost its popularity within that vertical.
Considering that the SaaS industry has seen substantial growth in recent years, and is showing no signs of slowing down, Arc looks to be headed in the right direction.
