For the past year, we've been building our infrastructure: crafting our instrument, onboarding users, and deploying capital. In the past few months, 1 thing became certain: we're here to stay. With that, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of Bonside. shorturl.at/iuAH4

“SMB financing is hard” It sure is. You know whats less hard? Law firm financing Inventory financing Equipment financing Brick and mortar financing Break it up, sub-divide. Tailor the vehicle, reposition it. Tackling 99% of businesses in one go is a near impossible feat.

Yesterday, our entire team was going hard on different ambitious projects. In the *background*, we closed our largest deal yet in under 24 hours. Our first deal was as a quarter of the size and took months of dedicated effort. So much to do but I love that we’re here.

Was discussing with a biz owner the value of a diversified capital stack & we unpacked how tech cos have a variety of options – but it's limited for B&M. Biz owners don't come to Bonside just bc they 'need' capital, it's often in the interest of building a diversified cap stack

Two types of pop-ups IMO: (1) buzzy – ie stunning design & (2) profit machine. A lot of folks learned from (2) and have taken those learnings into permanent retail. Profit machines = lean buildouts, killer pre-marketing & efficient use of space. You'll see signs of it now!

Most underrated business model? Popup stores. Why? • Highly flexible • Low upfront costs • They can go crazy viral 7 companies that win with popups:

Applying and receiving financing from Bonside is now fully done on platform. No emails, no attachments, no exports – just Bonside tooling. I am so excited for what this means for future financings...

Equity often gets left off APR comp charts “Right now the cost of capital from equity can be as high as 40%, while debt is closer to between 15% and 20% for late-stage cos.” @jyotibansalsf Calculate equity’s cost & ensure you’re seeing an ROI on it, not always the right choice

Two phrases I think about weekly: 1. "Locus of control" – when thinking about the next day, the next week 2. "Forest through the trees" – when planting the right seeds to avoid pitfalls & ensure wins

Deal drop day, our biggest yet! Which means... this is the most we've held back for Bonside Select (those who participate on an individual basis). New deal. New max. New city. 🤠
