Founderpath Helped Increase our Valuation, We Just Closed $12.7m

When BoomNow raised $12.7m dollars to power the next generation of AI-driven property management, they revealed something interesting about leverage:

“We also want to thank our partners at Founderpath, whose Revenue Financing Product provided early leverage that strengthened our balance sheet ahead of this raise. Their support allowed us to move strategically and negotiate from a position of strength, ultimately helping us achieve a higher valuation.”
— BoomNow Team

The team behind BoomNow, which serves hospitality operators in more than twenty countries, used Founderpath’s non dilutive capital to strengthen their balance sheet and enter their equity round from a position of strength.

Founderpath Helped BoomNow Increase Their Valuation

1. Strengthened the balance sheet before the raise
BoomNow used Founderpath capital to turn predictable revenue into working capital. This improved liquidity and made their financials more attractive to Series A investors.

2. Extended runway and reduced fundraising pressure
The company gained additional months of operational runway, which allowed them to raise on their timeline rather than the market’s timeline. That extra time was key to improving valuation terms.

3. Accelerated growth initiatives
With Founderpath funds, BoomNow expanded product development and customer success teams, driving faster revenue growth without issuing new equity.

4. Improved negotiating position with investors
Because BoomNow was not cash-constrained, investors viewed them as a company growing from strength, not survival. This shifted leverage in BoomNow’s favor during valuation discussions.

5. Preserved ownership and control
Every dollar of Founderpath capital replaced what could have been dilutive equity. The founders kept more ownership while still fueling growth and momentum.

Key Takeaways for Founders

Non dilutive capital works best when used as leverage, not as a lifeline. Founders with predictable revenue and strong retention can use it to amplify momentum before an equity raise. The best time to deploy this type of capital is when your growth is measurable and your unit economics are strong.

Non dilutive funding allows you to extend runway, strengthen your financial story, and approach investors from a position of power. It lets you decide when to raise, how much to raise, and on what terms. It also signals operational discipline, which investors reward with higher valuations.

The structure matters too. Founders should always ensure that the return generated by deploying non dilutive capital exceeds its cost. Used properly, it becomes one of the most strategic tools in a founder’s fundraising toolkit.
