Meet scramble — a founder-to-founder growth financing community. We provide supplementary founder financing at the earliest stages where money from investors and creditors isn’t readily available

For a growth founder, fundraising is the core business process

Most early stage start-ups are «default dead»:
they will cease to exist unless founders raise capital.

15-50%

your time dealing with fundraising
one way or another

Supplementary founder financing dramatically changes fundraising outcomes

Fundraising is time-consuming and erratic. Convenient access to supplementary financing helps founder stay in control. When you’re not scrambling to fundraise, you have more capacity to work on the business.

You understand customers better, design products better, hire people better, and yes, can afford to accept only good offers from investors

Scramble is the founder-driven platform for supplementary financing

We provide supplementary financing to founders
in a three-step process

  1. Platform jointly with member founders forms and develops high-trust founder community

  2. Platform pre-approves credit limit to each founder based on employability in case current business fails

  3. Founders decide who is actually funded using mutual repayment guarantees

High-trust founder community

Trust among founder members is at the heart of the value that scramble platform provides. We invite new member founders based on their proven integrity, competence, and willingness to help other founders succeed.

Mutual repayment guarantee is your calculated bet on the founders you personally trust

Financing remains founder-friendly regardless if your company succeeds or fails

If my company succeeds

Worst case, I repay 2x the original loan. Even if all of my swap pairs fail, cost of money is still 10x lower than for an equity investment

If my company fails

Best case, all of my debt is repaid by my swap pairs. While my own business may fail, I will end up with little to no outstanding debt
