Forgive me for shilling, but have you taken a look at Pipe or any of the other revenue receivables companies? If you have contracts with customers, Pipe can often help you sell the future value of those contracts to investors in exchange for cash today, without needing to know the right VC or spend two months sweet talking a bank. I'm an early employee and therefore a bit biased, but I'd be curious if we can work for your use case -- our whole goal is to be a growth partner to healthy businesses. Feel free to email me peter @ pipe if you'd like to get in touch, or check out our home page https://pipe.com
