Tech & SaaS Companies
Beyond venture-funded startups, thousands of mid-market tech companies need working capital for hiring, infrastructure, and growth without further equity dilution.
California
Working capital scaled for the California economy.
California's $4 trillion GDP would rank fifth globally as a standalone nation. Operating here means navigating high costs, intense competition, and massive opportunity. We structure capital facilities that match the scale and pace California businesses demand.
Local economy
California's business landscape.
California leads in technology, entertainment, agriculture, international trade, and clean energy. The state's sheer diversity — from Silicon Valley startups to Central Valley agribusiness to LA's entertainment machine — creates capital needs across every industry vertical.
Media & Production
Film production, streaming content, post-production studios, and entertainment services — all project-based businesses with capital needs tied to production schedules rather than quarterly revenue.
Farming & Food Processing
California produces over one-third of U.S. vegetables and two-thirds of fruits and nuts. Seasonal planting cycles, harvest labor costs, and processing equipment demand agricultural working capital.
Import/Export & Distribution
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach handle 40% of U.S. container imports. Freight companies, customs brokers, distributors, and warehouse operators need capital for inventory and fleet expansion.
Capital needs
What California operators typically need capital for.
California's operating costs are among the highest in the nation. Commercial rents in major metros, state-mandated benefits, stringent environmental compliance, and a competitive labor market all compress margins and increase the need for external capital. Businesses here don't just need money — they need it structured around California's unique cost dynamics.
Common applications include: scaling headcount for enterprise contracts without waiting on AR collections, purchasing inventory for seasonal demand spikes, financing equipment upgrades to meet state emissions standards, bridging cash flow during production cycles, and funding acquisitions to consolidate market position in fragmented industries.
