How Upfront Capital™ Works
Your Total Facility
We approve a total credit facility based on 10-40% of your ARR. This is your available capital that you can access over time as your business grows.
Draw When You Need It
You control when and how much capital to draw from your facility. Only draw what you need, when you need it—whether that’s for a specific hiring push, marketing campaign, or seasonal cash flow gap.
Fixed Monthly Payments
Once you draw capital, you make predictable fixed monthly payments. No percentage of revenue—just clear, manageable payments that fit your budget planning.
Grow Your Facility
As your ARR grows, your available facility grows with you. The relationship scales alongside your business success.

Knowing Better, Growing Faster
Can I trust that Novel will be a long-term partner?
Yes. Novel has been backing SaaS and tech founders since 2019. We’ve funded over 200 companies and deployed more than $150M in non-dilutive capital — and we’re here to support your growth at every stage.
Do you actually have the capital to fund my company — and future needs?
Absolutely. We manage a $100M+ capital pool with dry powder reserved for both new deployments and follow-on funding. Whether you need $500K today or $2M down the line, we’ve got you covered.
Will you sell my loan or hand me off to another lender?
No. When you partner with Novel, you stay with Novel. We keep our relationships direct, so your experience stays consistent from onboarding through final repayment.
Can I come back for more capital if things are going well?
Yes — and many founders do. Our capital grows with your company. As your revenue increases, we can expand your facility to support your next phase of growth.
What happens if my growth slows down temporarily?
We understand startups face ups and downs. That’s why we don’t require personal guarantees or rigid covenants. Our underwriting model is built to give founders breathing room, not punish temporary dips.
Will my existing investors be okay with this kind of capital?
Yes. Our structure is investor-friendly — no dilution, no board seats, no ownership change. Many founders use Novel alongside their equity customers to extend runway or reach milestones before their next round.
Will taking capital from Novel hurt my chances of raising VC later?
No — it can actually help. Our funding allows you to grow on your terms and hit stronger milestones before raising. Plus, we have relationships with 100+ VCs through VentureMatch and regularly help founders connect with aligned investors.
Are your rates tied to the market or interest rate hikes?
No. Our terms are fixed, so you don’t need to worry about changes in SOFR or Federal Reserve decisions. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying from day one.
What do you look for in a company before offering funding?
We look for U.S.-based SaaS and tech companies generating $500k+ in annual revenue, with recurring or predictable revenue streams, positive gross margins, and signs of growth. We evaluate your actual performance — not just your pitch deck.
How is this different from traditional loans or venture debt?
Unlike traditional loans or venture debt, Novel’s capital is non-dilutive, doesn’t require personal guarantees, and doesn’t include covenants or warrants. Our terms are flexible, fixed, and designed around how SaaS and tech companies actually grow — without restricting your operations or putting your equity at risk.
Do I need MRR or ARR to qualify for funding?
Not necessarily. While many of our customers have recurring revenue, we also work with tech companies that have predictable or repeatable revenue — including usage-based, transaction-based, or hybrid models. If your business has clear revenue visibility and growth potential, we’re ready to talk.
