Challenge

In order to scale up and grow, they needed funding to develop the technology for their subscription programme by increasing their marketing reach without giving up valuable equity in their business.

Lemonade Dolls faced the common startup dilemma of needing substantial capital to fuel growth while wanting to retain control and equity. Traditional funding routes like venture capital often require giving up significant ownership, which wasn't aligned with Lemon's vision for the brand. Instead, Lemonade Dolls sought a financing solution that provided the necessary funds without diluting their ownership.

Solution

This model allowed Lemonade Dolls to access funds quickly and flexibly, repaying the investment as a percentage of their monthly revenue.
