Growing startups through revenue-based funding, with Arc Co-founder Nick Lombardo

In this conversation, we chat with Nick Lombardo, co-founder of Arc
Technologies. Nick previously worked in private equity in New York
where he experienced firsthand the limitations of traditional
capital raising. In 2021, Nick and the other co-founders of Arc
teamed up with Y Combinator and met with hundreds of software
founders in the SF Bay Area and realized that they all shared a
common pain point – startup funding is costly and distracting. Arc
was founded to give founders an alternative to the status quo that
helps them grow – with technology and without dilution. More
specifically, we touch on investment banking vs. private equity,
capital raising and the purpose of finance for early stage
startups, invoice financing/invoice factoring vs revenue-based
funding, embedded finance, and so so much more!Disclaimer here —
