Why Castle Roads

Flexible Capital & Structuring Expertise

From revenue-based financing to fixed prepayment structures and term debt, we tailor capital solutions to your business. We can also refinance existing term loans and work with our network of banking partners on revolving credit facilities.

Data & Analytics

We share our underwriting model directly with borrowers, so you walk away knowing more about your own business. Our cohort analysis gives you a clearer picture of unit economics, payback periods, and growth levers than most internal finance teams have access to.

Growth Marketing Expertise

Our team has scaled 100+ brands and managed $500M+ in customer acquisition spend. We don't just provide capital — we understand the channels, the metrics, and the decisions that drive efficient growth.

Castle Roads provides customer acquisition financing for recurring-revenue businesses. It is the same structure as General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund, but with lower rates, and flexible enough to also provide senior term debt. The team has unique experience as former B2C operators and private credit investors.
