For the majority of founders, access to startup capital is a constant pain point

15-50%

your time dealing with fundraising
one way or another

Scramble enables
startups to raise up
to €2M early debt.

No equity. No collateral.
No BS.

BS is a technical term invoked by founders when faced with the dark side of many traditional startup financing providers, including, but not limited to:
excessive communications via email, messengers, video chats, one-on-one interviews, many-on-one interviews, follow-up meetings, company visits, sponsored events, etc.;
unpredictable and unstructured deal closing process, unclear timing and lack of deadline discipline, back-and-forth on specific terms, lack of clarity, reneging on promises, multiple requests for extra information and documentation, etc.;
committee decision-making, bureaucracy, slow documentation turn-around, conditions precedent, conditions subsequent, disbursement tranches with KPIs, ongoing terms re-negotiations, etc.;
hidden founder-unfriendly terms and provisions, excessive fine print, multiple extra charges and commissions, unreasonable insurance and service fees, etc.;
arcane covenants and reporting requirements, highly customized metrics dashboards, etc.;
governance complications, loss of agility, managerial time abuse, endless presentations, low value-add discussions, inability to deal with changing landscape and emergencies, etc.;
disregard for the founding team’s vision, abuse of founders’ commitment to the company, backroom politics, conflicts of interest, self-dealing, accountability avoidance.

Simple process to be funded

  1. Startup credit limit is pre-approved by Scramble based on the estimate of lifetime income of each co- founder

  2. Startups set their fundraising goal and acceptable loan terms

  3. Private investors allocate capital to startups via monthly fundraising rounds
