GetVantage is a financial technology company specializing in revenue-based financing, which provides alternative funding solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups.[1]

History

Founded in 2019, GetVantage offers businesses access to non-dilutive capital by advancing funds based on their projected revenue streams.[2][3] Businesses repay the financing through a percentage of their future revenues, aligning repayment with their cash flow and enabling more flexible and scalable growth.[4][5]

The company employs algorithms for financing decisions, aiming to reduce bias and expedite the application process. Central to its technology are a proprietary machine learning model called the Credit Decision Engine and a cloud-based Deal Management System.[6]

In May 2023, GetVantage obtained a license as a non-banking financial company from the Reserve Bank of India for its NBFC division, GetGrowth Capital.[7][8]

Funding

The company is funded by Chiratae Ventures, Varanium, InCred, DMI, and Japanese entities such as Sony and DI.[9]
