About us

Element Finance is a boutique growth finance company that lends to SaaS and recurring revenue companies. 

Why we started Element Finance
We got our start out of necessity.

Element Finance got its start out of necessity. It was founded in 2019 by Scaleworks – a group of seasoned SaaS operators who faced the challenge of accessing growth capital to grow their family of SaaS companies. 

Banks
didn't value the SaaS recurring revenue model
Traditional banks weren't an option.

They didn't value the SaaS recurring revenue model and wouldn't lend to companies with no profit or tangible assets, even with fantastic customer metrics and growth. Most other alternative lenders required equity warrants, board seats, and business covenants that did not make sense.

So, we raised our first lending fund so our companies could easily access growth finance without dilution. It went so well that we expanded to help companies around the globe with growth finance. In three years, we have helped our customers grow ARR on average 38% each year and increased available capital to founders as they have grown.

We believe there’s a different way to grow.

SaaS finance should be straightforward and tailored to the needs of a business with no hidden terms and conditions, board seats, personal guarantees, or equity. Our finance experts and SaaS business operators have a proven track record of driving solutions to help founders ensure access to growth capital without dilution and loss of control. 

Today
We believe in relationships and the people behind the products. We are committed to providing founder-friendly, long-term capital over the life of your business.
