Uncapped works alongside or instead of venture capital and was established to address the fact that, for many small businesses, venture capital is simply not the best way to raise finance. Uncapped offers fair and flexible funding that can be used to finance a growing business without the founders having to give up equity or take on the burden of traditional debt.

‍

Unlike venture capital, Uncapped offers founders the opportunity to raise crucial growth capital without giving up control of their business. Equity can be one of the most expensive ways of raising working capital, but many founders are also wary of subjecting their businesses to the interest rates of traditional debt. Uncapped offers a fair and flexible alternative that doesn’t currently exist in the European market.
