Arc is the full-service finance platform for SaaS, providing software startups with the customized financial products they deserve.
Arc is on a mission to help startups grow. Today, we provide a better way for SaaS founders to raise capital by avoiding costly dilution and risky debt. Tomorrow, we will become the financial operating system for the SaaS startup, where founders can save, spend and manage cash, while leveraging proprietary insights to grow efficiently.
The inspiration behind Arc's mission has been years in the making. Co-founders Don and Nick previously worked in private equity in New York where they experienced firsthand the limitations of traditional capital raising. Meanwhile, Raven spent a decade in Silicon Valley as a software engineer and witnessed the emerging trend towards consumerized enterprise software.
In 2021, they teamed up with Y Combinator and met with hundreds of software founders in the SF Bay Area and realized that all shared a common pain point – startup funding is costly and distracting. Arc was founded to give founders an alternative to the status quo that helps them grow – with technology and without dilution.
