Ship Faster with Technology Financing.

R&D investment, talent acquisition, and infrastructure costs create capital-intensive growth cycles in tech. Our in-house team understands recurring revenue models and deliver funding that scales with your MRR.

Why Technology Businesses
Need Flexible Capital

Understanding the financial pressures unique to technology helps us fund you directly with the right products.

R&D Investment vs. Revenue Timing

Product development costs accumulate months or years before generating revenue. Engineers, designers, and QA teams must be paid throughout the development cycle while the product generates zero income.

Engineering Talent Competition

Senior developers, DevOps engineers, and product managers command $150K-$300K+ total compensation. Recruiting fees, signing bonuses, and equity packages require substantial upfront capital for each hire.

Infrastructure and Cloud Costs

AWS, GCP, and Azure costs scale with usage and can spike unpredictably. Database hosting, CDN bandwidth, security tooling, and monitoring add layers of recurring cost that grow with customer adoption.

Sales and Marketing Burn

Customer acquisition in tech requires content marketing, paid ads, sales teams, free trials, and conference presence. CAC payback periods of 12-18 months mean spending heavily today for revenue that arrives next year.

Enterprise Sales Cycle Length

Enterprise clients take 3-9 months from first demo to signed contract. Meanwhile, sales reps, solutions engineers, and implementation teams are on payroll building pipeline that may not convert for quarters.

Security and Compliance Investment

SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and industry-specific compliance requirements demand ongoing investment in security infrastructure, auditing, and documentation that protects customers but does not directly generate revenue.

How We Help Technology
Businesses Grow

The Challenge

A B2B SaaS company with $1.8 million ARR and 15% month-over-month growth needed $400,000 to hire four senior engineers and scale cloud infrastructure ahead of an enterprise client launch. Equity dilution was unacceptable at their current valuation.

The Solution

Sunsurf Capital arranged a revenue-based financing facility using the company's MRR and contracted ARR as primary qualification metrics. Approval was completed in 7 business days with no equity dilution or board seat requirements.

The Result

The engineering team shipped the enterprise features on schedule, the client launched successfully, and the company added $600,000 in new ARR within 6 months. The non-dilutive capital preserved founder equity ahead of a subsequent Series A at a significantly higher valuation.

This example is representative of typical client outcomes and is presented for illustrative purposes.

Common Questions About
Technology Financing

Our primary focus is revenue-generating technology companies (typically $10K+/month). Pre-revenue startups with strong teams and traction may qualify for certain working capital products, but venture capital or angel investment is usually more appropriate for early-stage companies.
Tech-savvy lenders evaluate metrics traditional banks ignore: MRR/ARR, churn rates, LTV/CAC ratio, net revenue retention, and growth trajectory. Recurring subscription revenue is viewed more favorably than project-based income because of its predictability.
Yes. Non-dilutive financing is increasingly popular among tech companies that want to fund growth without giving up equity. Revenue-based financing, working capital, and credit lines let you grow on your terms while preserving ownership and control.
Key metrics include Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), gross margins (typically 60%+), net revenue retention (100%+), churn rate (below 5% monthly), and LTV/CAC ratio (3:1 or better). Not all metrics need to be perfect, but the overall picture should show healthy unit economics.
Working capital and credit lines can fund R&D for new products or pivots. Lenders evaluate your existing revenue base and track record rather than the unproven product. This approach lets you invest in innovation while maintaining financial stability.
Both. Hardware companies, IoT device makers, and hardware-enabled SaaS businesses can all access financing. Equipment and inventory financing products are particularly relevant for hardware companies with manufacturing and component costs.
