Absolutely. Valerian funding is non-dilutive and can therefore be used alongside venture capital to reduce the overall amount of dilution. If you plan to seek venture capital funding in the future, Valerian can help you delay the round and increase your overall valuation.

On the other hand, Valerian’s form of revenue-based financing is an attractive option for founders looking to retain full control of their company. For many eCommerce, subscription and marketplace businesses, Valerian effectively takes the place of venture capital – providing immediate cash flow benefits without requiring founders to give up equity.

Venture capital can also use revenue-based financing to extend the runway of portfolio companies by using Valerian to boost the growth and valuation of a company before the next capital raise.

Qualifying for bank financing oftentimes requires a minimum of 3 years of trading history and profitability. Bank financing also takes time to obtain, whereas Valerian’s fully data-driven advance gives you available funds in less than 48 hours. Finally, reimbursing a bank loan on a regular basis can take a toll on cash flow if your company is facing financial difficulties – whether due to market downturn or other factors. With Valerian, repayment of your advance is proportionate to your company’s sales.
