The main benefits of revenue-based business funding:

• Fast: The fundraising process is often exhausting for founders who risk losing focus on the business. Conversely, Viceversa is very quick to analyze the initiatives customers present and gives feedback within a few days. As a result, founders can receive up to €1.0 M in just 3-5 days.
• Flexible: Different monthly installments depending on the current company’s performance
• Add-ons: Credit card to cover paid advertising expenses
• Non-Invasive: No dilution! It is a hybrid between debt and equity financing

Support for customers through the growth process

The Kobe Partners team is determined to support customers throughout the entire corporate growth process. The challenge, therefore, consists of finding the financial resources necessary to test and validate the product-market fit.

An insider tip for digital businesses?

Startups should immediately identify a specific set of metrics for their business and monitor progress in achieving their goals. At Kobe, we implement the OKR method (Objective Key Results).

This is effective in aligning the long-term vision of entrepreneurs with the objectives of each quarter. The system also offers many benefits for remote team management, to facilitate meetings with the different product, marketing, finance, and HR areas.

And lastly, in the works…

At Kobe Partners, our favorite metric is the “degree of trust” from our clients: professional relationships overcome the standard agreements as we started co-founding disruptive companies in Buenos Aires and London with our clients. We are developing internationalization programs by offering our network, logistic, and corporate management support.
