Treb Ryan, CEO at OpSource and Todd Gardner, CEO at SaaS Capital
Software as a Service (SaaS) business models are attractive because they deliver predictable, high-margin revenue streams that Wall Street, corporate buyers and CFO’s love. In the early years of the company, however, the business model is very capital intensive because revenue and cash flow are pushed out into the future. Securing additional capital as a SaaS business is tough because traditional sources of funds (selling equity, banks, venture lending) are typically capital inefficient, involve equity dilution and/or are limited in the funds they can make available to you because they lend against GAAP assets.
