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

Traditional banks were hesitant due to the company’s asset-light business model and limited physical collateral. Existing venture investors preferred to preserve equity for future strategic rounds rather than participate in bridge financing.

The Commercial Loan Broker used GlassBox Verified to verify recurring revenue, audience engagement metrics, and forward-looking cash flow. GlassBox’s deal packaging tools ensured the opportunity was structured for alternative lenders active in media-sector debt.

The broker routed the deal to a lender whose credit box aligned with revenue-backed media businesses. The lender structured a $2.4M 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 Commercial Loan Broker earned a commission on the funded loan while retaining full ownership of the client relationship.
