The attrition rate in the VC industry is insane. No less than 20 contacts have moved on within the past 3 months They are not moving to other VC funds but to more large-scale, 'stable' corporate roles The ZIRP environment created surplus deemed investors, clear out 100% needed

We are democratizing access to capital for #saas founders at Tapline. Seeing the direct impact of our financing only fuels our motivation (if that's even possiblešŸ˜‰) Great work, team Tapline

Great insights into the current #SaaS funding market. Equity remains scarce, while alternative lenders' strict covenants limit founders' growth flexibility. If you want to grow dilution, covenant free and on your terms, tap Tapline #fundraising #lending #subscription

AI & the shift to usage-based pricing are transforming SaaS. These models align costs with value, with AI enabling smarter tracking and billing. Theā“isn’t if SaaS is dead, it’s whether your business is evolving fast enough Tapline funds these market changes, driving growth

A 7-year partner at a €2B AUM VC in Germany left to become Chief of Staff at a high-growth startup—to learn how to build. Not so surprising. In over 200 VC calls I’ve had in 3 years, only 6 were with former operators. That’s the real problem with EU VCs

Full circle moment: In 2018, I was trying to break into Venture, subscribing to Deutsche Bank Venture Weekly & even reaching out for jobs at DB & newly funded startups. Now, six years later, seeing our company featured in that same newsletter is a surreal & humbling experience!

ā€œ intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to buildā€ Key point: most won’t understand or act - and building has never been more accessible or cheaper.

Today marks the end of Tapline . We have been acquired by Flowpay, an AI infrastructure lender to the SME market in Europe. What a journey šŸ”„šŸ”„ Grateful to the team, our investors, and the customers who backed us. Proud of what we built.

Big day today for my startup. After almost 5 years of building Tapline with Dean Hastie, peter grouev and the team, some of it in public, some behind the scenes, we’ve been acquired by Flowpay. Incredible ride but the next train is already being prepared. Never stop building!
