This document discusses revenue-based financing as an alternative to venture capital for ISVs seeking funding. It outlines how revenue-based financing works by providing monthly payments to the company as a fixed percentage of its monthly revenue, with no equity stake required. The document notes that revenue-based financing is well-suited for SaaS companies and can provide funding up to $1 million or 33% of a company's annualized revenue run rate. It also shares an example of a $500,000 revenue-based financing with monthly payments of 5% of revenue and a 1.7x repayment over 5 years.
