SaaS Capital Provides $2.5 Million in Growth Funding to Pusher Ltd.

CINCINNATI, NEW YORK, SEATTLE, LONDON August 23, 2016 – SaaS Capital, the leading provider of Committed Credit Facilities to SaaS companies, today announced that it has provided a $2.5 million line of credit to Pusher Ltd., in London, the premier SaaS service for integrating real-time functionality into web and mobile applications.

“We’ve been very successful at growing organically over the last few years, after raising seed funding in early 2011. Focusing on being a functioning business first is our preferred approach, and one that we feel sets us apart from many of the technology companies who raise a huge amount of capital,” said Max Williams, CEO of Pusher. “We’re surprised more successful SaaS businesses don’t take advantage of a SaaS Capital Facility, as it is so much cheaper than equity financing. Pusher will invest the incremental capital to pursue a more aggressive product vision.”

Pusher is a cloud-based service that makes it easy and fast to add scalable real-time functionality to web and mobile applications. The company’s suite of tools allows developers to create interactive and engaging features in a matter of minutes instead of weeks. As a hosted service, Pusher automatically scales when required, removing all the pain of setting up and maintaining a secure, real-time infrastructure.

“The Pusher team is incredibly focused on building world-class products as well as a sustainable and profitable business,” said Todd Gardner, Founder and Managing Director of SaaS Capital. “We are pleased they selected SaaS Capital, and we look forward to working with Max and his team. There are fewer financing options available to SaaS companies in the UK, so we are glad we could be of service. This is our third financing of a UK-based business, and we hope to do many more.”
