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.
In late 2022, Pipe's co-founders stepped down from their leadership positions, stating that the company needed an experienced operational CEO. It appears to have found this in Luke Voiles, a seasoned fintech leader who is poised to lead the company through its next phase of growth. Pipe was also welcomed into the Financial Technology Association (FTA), showcasing its position in the "fintech for good" movement, and it will be interesting to see where the future next takes it.
