The VC fundraising process is slow, tying up your team for months. It comes with hefty direct costs for legal fees and consultants, often reaching six figures. Indirectly, it means losing control, as major investors demand board seats and require ongoing investor relations. Most critically, you give up equity – one of the most valuable assets of a founder.

re:cap Funding offers a different path. We don’t ask for shares, board seats, or a say in your company. We provide fast, non-dilutive funding with ticket sizes starting at €50k, scaling to millions. Funding can be secured in less than 48 hours. However, unlike equity, re:cap Funding requires repayment.

Most venture debt funds require companies to raise at least €3 million. They often ask for warrants, leading to dilution, secure all available assets as collateral, and may demand board seats. On top of that, capital is rarely disbursed in full upfront. Future tranches depend on hitting milestones, and you might be forced to take more funding even if you no longer need it.

re:cap offers a simpler solution. Within days, we provide you with a flexible funding limit. You decide how much capital you need with a single click, and the funds arrive within 48 hours – no warrants, no collateral, no board seats.
