A fast-growing ad-supported streaming platform needed non-dilutive capital to acquire licensed content and scale marketing operations. The company had achieved strong user growth and engagement metrics but required significant funding to compete for premium content licensing deals and accelerate customer acquisition.

Traditional banks were hesitant due to the company's asset-light business model and lack of physical collateral. Their existing venture investors wanted to preserve equity for future strategic rounds rather than participate in bridge financing.

The company's fractional CFO used GlassBox to submit the deal to our lender network. We verified the company's revenue metrics, formatted the deal for alternative lenders specializing in media sector debt, and connected them with a lender who structured a term loan secured by future advertising revenue streams and content licensing agreements.

The deal closed in 44 days, allowing the company to move quickly on time-sensitive content acquisitions. The CFO earned a commission on the funded loan while maintaining their advisory relationship with the client.
