Our take
Pipe is an alternative trading platform for start-up businesses that allows entrepreneurs and founders to take agency over their direction. Now a certified unicorn company, Pipe enables companies to sell their future recurring revenue to large institutional investors for cash.
The company was founded by entrepreneurs who had experience with the challenges founders face when financing companies. Solving a widespread problem in the start-up space, Pipe has seen great success and has been used by over 23,000 companies, facilitating hundreds of millions of dollars in loans quarterly.
Recently the company has seen great success, by partnering with GoCardless to revolutionize SME capital across the UK, a move the company is making to expand its international presence outside of the US. This pilot program has shown impressive results and points towards a future of international success for Pipe.
