We Engineer Cost Effective Growth

Growing technology companies are often convinced that raising capital, diluting their equity and spending up big is the best path to growing their company quickly. What founders aren’t always aware of is the value a commercial advisor can bring to their growth story through commercial partnership structures or transaction advisory services – opening the door to alternative ways to achieve the same commercial goal.

Finding Specialist Financial Advice for SaaS Companies Is Difficult

The speed of software innovation (and in many cases, maturation) has significantly outpaced the way banks, investors, professional services and traditional corporate advisory firms look at the capital structure and commercial strategy of a technology business.

This has created a gap between the large number of established or fast growing software companies who need situation or goal specific commercial advice, and the number of firms that specialise in providing that advice.

We exist to fill that void.

You Don’t Have The Time or Expertise to Exercute Commercial Partnerships

Technology founders are experts in their domain but often lack the experience or the connectivity to create, drive and execute commercial partnership opportunities that can bring significant value to their business. Our team can help you obtain, understand and negotiate commercial agreements, partnerships, joint-ventures and the impacts of each – without the corporate jargon.

About Rydon Capital

Rydon Capital was started to help both established and fast growing technology companies to execute commercial partnerships and navigate significant commercial transactions.

Why It Started

We wanted to create a bridge between the constantly evolving technology landscape and the confusing and difficult to navigate world of corporate finance. We started Rydon Capital to combine our commercial skills, experience in product development and passion for problem solving to help software companies achieve better commercial outcomes.

Unfortunately, we kept finding:

  • it too commonplace for great technology company founders to dilute their cap table without seeking specialist advice from firms who understand what they are going through and can take an objective approach to financing the next stage of growth; and
  • many successful mid market technology companies sign up to complex and restrictive earn out agreements after only considering the dollar value of the exit on offer.

Our Team’s Capabilities

  • Transaction advisory for SaaS and Vertical Market Software businesses.
  • Product & commercial strategy advice.
  • Leading capital markets financing for growth or transitional software companies.
  • Development and execution of commercial partnerships.
