15 years ago, we built SLW to rewrite the growth capital playbook. The result is capital that adapts to the company, instead of the other way around.

The Problem We Seek to Solve

For four decades, there has been virtually no innovation in growth-stage financing.

Companies stay private longer and create enormous value, yet the way they fund growth hasn't changed: round after round of priced equity, each one expensive, dilutive, and disconnected from the next. We saw an opportunity to do something different.

Flex Capital

A better way to fundraise.

Flex is SLW’s proprietary structure. As your company grows, so should your options beyond traditional equity or venture debt. Flex lets you use capital now and return it later, without pricing a round or taking on new covenants. Like raising your Series C without the price, and giving it back later.
